    You can buy the boot disk on eBay or Amazon.

    Hello win95fan, let's talk shall we:
    Yes, you do recognize me from betaarchive and I would like to talk. First of all, whenever you request something, and someone gives you exactly what you want, you always say it is counterfeited. Honestly take a loo at your thread on msfn: /board/topic/151704-need-an-original-unmodified-windows-95-cd-rom-setup-boot-disk-image/
    That guy who gave you the windows 95 cd rom was uncounterfeited. If you want an unmodified windows 95 cd rom then buy it.

    Archenemy: Actually Ahmed Jebara gave me (and all the BetaArchive community) a genuine Windows 95 CD-ROM image.
    Special thanks to him/her!
    However, I'm currently missing images of the Windows 98 First Edition and Windows Millennium Edition boot disks.

    Yes, there are a lot of boot disks around Internet, or you can create one by installing a Windows 98 VM and setting time and date on Virtual Machine on May 11, 1998 (First Edition) or April 23, 1999 (Second Edition).

    Sorry, I forgot to say, I'm looking for images of the Windows 98 First Edition and Windows Millennium boot disks, but from retail media.
    However, they're really rare and hard to come by!

    I think he really doesn't know to buy software himself.
    He only want to get them as disk image without payment.

    That's because I'm somewhat poor.

    And if you hadn't managed to cheese off the whole community you'd have it. I have Win98 retail boxed new in my box of unopened stuff, including the floppy. I'm just not gonna waste the time for somebody who doesn't know when to give it a rest. You have an obsession over a boot floppy disk .... I know collectors like untouched stuff but a fairly bog standard boot floppy ... really?

    I have the following Windows 9x Retail Full or Upgrade.

    (Box)
    Windows 95 Retail Upgrade (13 floppy disks + CD)--* (Except disk1/disk2, disk3-13 are same as Retail Full)
    Windows 98 First Edition Retail Upgrade (CD)
    Windows 98 Second Edition Retail Upgrade (CD)
    Windows ME Millennium Edition Retail Upgrade (CD)

    No boot disk is included on each Retail Upgrade edition.

    I bought them as junk (media only).

    (Media only)
    Windows 95 Retail Full (1 boot disk + 13 floppy disks) --* (Except Boot disk/disk1/disk2, disk3-13 are same as Retail Upgrade.)
    Windows 98 First Edition Retail Full (1 boot disk + 38 floppy disks)
    Windows 98 First Edition Retail Full (1 boot disk + CD) <-- Original CD has scratch
    Windows 98 Second Edition Retail Full (1 boot disk + CD)
    Windows ME Millennium Edition Retail Full (1 boot disk + CD)

    I dumped all Floppy + CD, but due to that poor or bumping Guy, I restored on CD or backup disk and sealed with box again.
    Of course, I deleted all dumped ones on HDD
    (I really don't want to open it again to dump and contribute for bumping guy.)

    Good News!

    Now Microsoft Windows 1.0 Premiere Edition was dumped correctly by Alias.

    You should've said that in the first place.

    Or maybe he could spend his hard earned money on a PC capable of running > Win95!
