The SSD installation on Windows 10 prevented booting Windows 98 on the original 98 PC.

Have you possibly updated the system to use the SSD with Windows 98 as the primary boot drive?

Yes, it's the only one in that batch of 98, it functioned before. However, because it was copied to another SSD due to failure, it no longer works. The same applies to the one it was cloned into.

Could be because waiting for it to be failing was too late, and it failed completely during the cloning operation.

Cloning a drive usually allows the previous storage device to be removed.

You need to download and install Windows XP from a reputable source.

Windows 98 doesn't support SATA without IDE emulation. NVMe seems like high-end tech for the OS and won't start. You can find SATA-to-IDE adapters to use instead.

Windows 98 likely came from an MBR format disk, while Windows 10/11 probably used a UEFI format. The BIOS needs to be configured correctly for compatibility. Cloning between these versions would alter the original format type.

It functioned properly with the SATA SSD before; I mistakenly thought about Vista. How can I resolve this issue? Any cost is acceptable since I need the PC.

Are you certain you selected the correct path and haven’t accidentally overwritten the original data? The system displays the specific error you’re seeing.
