Get a boot floppy with CD support (if you made one in Windows Add-Remove Programs that will do nicely).
You need to change to your CD drive which will probably become E for a while.
Type cd e:
This should put you to the root of E. Pop in your W98 CD and type setup.exe
Hopefully away you should go.
Happy Christmas.
