1. Locate the file. It is usually on the hard drive in both
c:\windows
and
c:\windows\command.ebd
and on the instal CD in
D\Win98

2. Wherever the file is, you can point to its location
using the / Browse function (button.)

You can make a floppy boot disk with the Fat32ebd.exe file located on the
W98 CD: tools/mtsutil/fat32ebd
