Change the boot order in the BIOS to boot from CD and then boot from the Win98 disk.

Is your cdrom detected by the bios hardware initialization during your power up?

Win 2000 boot sector may still be there.Remove with your Win 98 boot diskette:
fdisk /mbr
Try again installation.
Good luck.

Post back the model of the cdrom and if it's connected to an interface card like a sound card, post back info on the card.
