There are two different types of restore that you can do with Windows 98:
* Restore Windows 98 using System Recovery Wizard
* Restore the Windows 98/Me Registry
————————-
To restore Windows 98 on your computer, use the following steps.
IMPORTANT: You can use these steps only to restore data to the same hardware on which it was backed up. If your computer hardware has changed since the backup was made, you can use these steps to restore your data, but you will need to reinstall all of your Windows-based software after the process is complete.
1. Insert your Windows 98 Startup disk into the floppy disk drive, and then start your computer.
2. On the Microsoft Windows 98 Startup menu, choose Start Computer With CD-ROM Support.
3. At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after each line
<cdrom>: cd tools\sysrec pcrestor
where <cdrom> is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.
NOTE: The Pcrestor.bat batch file starts an automatic version of Windows 98 Setup. After Windows 98 Setup is complete, the System Recovery wizard is automatically started.
4. After Windows 98 Setup starts, remove the Windows 98 Startup disk from the floppy disk drive.
5. In the System Recovery wizard, click Next.
6. Type your name and company name, and then click Next.
7. In the System Recovery wizard, click Finish. The Microsoft Backup Welcome screen appears.
8. In the Microsoft Backup dialog box, click Restore Backed Up Files, and then click OK.
9. In the Restore wizard, use the following options when you are prompted:
Restore From: Select the location where your backup is stored.
Select Backup Sets: Select the most recent full system backup.
What To Restore: Click to select the check box next to each local drive.
Where To Restore: Click Original Locations.
How To Restore: Click "Always replace the file on my computer."

How to Manually Restore the Windows 98/Me Registry
1. Start your computer, press and hold CTRL, and then choose Safe Mode Command Prompt Only from the Windows 98 Startup menu. If you are running Windows Me, start your computer with the startup disk.
2. At the MS-DOS prompt, type cd\windows\command, and then press ENTER. Where windows is the name of the folder in which Windows is installed.
3. At the C: prompt, type scanreg /restore, and then press ENTER.
4. Select the previous registry you want to restore, and then press ENTER.NOTE: A properly working registry has the word "Started" next to the date.
5. When you receive notification that you restored a properly working registry, press ENTER to restart your computer.

There should be a restore on your computer. Go to your start menu then your control panel then to system and maintenance. You should see where you can back up your computer.
