you'll need to get the bootdisk from the www.bootdisk.com.
or get to a computer that works, and make one from your win98 disk.
however, you can get into the bios,in advanced chipsets, change the boot sequence to cd-rom, c,a
boot with the win98se disk.
choose to open with cd-rom drivers.
when its thru loading, change to d: [cd-rom]
type in
d:\cd win98
d:\win98 format c:/s
after formatting
d:\setup
that will start windows setup
it could be that the cd-rom ddrive letter will be e:
if so, use in place of d:

Not all 98SE cd's are bootable. As suggested above go to www.bootdisk.com (or my webspace for WIN98SE.EXE) and download the bootdisk file. These files CREATE a bootdisk. Don't download them to a floppy. Click on the downloaded file with a known good floppy in your drive and the file(s) will create the bootdisk on your floppy. These files support atapi and SCSI cdroms.
