Hardware Profiles in Win98...

[FrozenLiquidity]

I have a question about hardware profiles. I am running my system on a Asus P3B-F motherboard and it is set up exxactly the way I want it (drivers and everything), but I would like to test my System using a Asus P3V4X to see if it will preform better. My question is can I create a seperate system configuration for each motherboard using the Hardware Profiles in Windows 98? I should be able to make a copy of my current profile and then have a backup to use if I want to go back to the P3B-F. Can I do this with the Hardware Profiles?

Thanks

I'm thinkin' out loud here. So you would rename the "original configuration" profile to something else then install the new mobo then rename THAT "original configuration" to a second name, right? Is that what you're thinking?

basically, I just want to be able to run two different configurations on the same computer.

Would that work?

How about a backup of your whole OS and such from the Win98 tools, if you got the disk space. If not how about backing up windows, sys files etc. I used to back up my whole system. When my hard drive went kaput with ME on it, I used my slave drive as master, installed 98, then ran restore from my backup. it worked just like it did before I installed ME. Takes me, 30 min or so to back up a couple of gigs. You could taylor a backup of the files changed by the different boards and windows to make a way smaller file, hit restore, shut down & do what you gotta do, then reboot.

Thanks for the response, but its a little to late now, i am in the middle of rebuilding my computer.

I did make a copy of my hardware profile, so if I am correct, this should work. I will let you know how it turns out.
