my dad just gave me his old (really old) ibm thinkpad from 4 years ago. it still runs pretty well considering that hes taken pretty good care of it. my problem is that when i try to run the recovery disk to reinstall win98 on it, it says the cdrom is not in high sierra or iso 9668 format or something. If anyone knows anything about this, please tell me how i fix this system reinstall. i called the ibm guys and basically they told me to find a copy of win98 and install it. however, if i do this, i wont have office 97 on it and cant use the word processor. i'm not limited to this option so i'm open to suggestions on other things to do with this thinkpad as long as i can use word processor.
