That's exactly what Eddie wants and it is done in the Registry. Run regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\SETUP\SOURCEPATH Correct the path in the right pane. Select it, click edit/modify and make the correction.

Go to: Start/run. Type: regedit. Hit enter. Follow this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup. Once you get to here, look for a key on the right side of the window that says: Source. It will probably say something like: D:\win98. Change it to read what ever drive you put it on, and what ever you named your folder. Now just close the window and you should be good to go.

I think you misunderstoof Eddie. Dac meant to copy the folder, not the cab files.
