You need to use the corrasponding Cd for that computer. If that computer did not come with a Cd, it probally has a hidden partition that has a "virtual Cd" in a sense. Get a '98 boot disk and do fdisk to see if you have a unknown partition that would be about 4-8 gig big. Go to the manufacter website and search repair or troubleshooting.
