Win98SE CR-ROM is bootable. I can not find my WIN98 original, and so
cannot check.

If your computer can boot from a CD, you only need to insert the Win 98 CD in
the drive and make sure that the BIOS is set up to boot from the CD-ROM drive
first.

Otherwise, go to www.bootdisk.com , download the Windows 98SE boot disk image,
and prepare a boot diskette. Boot the system from the floppy, partition and
format the drive (format c: /S) to be bootable, then copy the entire contents of
the floppy to the C: drive. Reboot the system, and the combo of CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT will load drivers for the CD-ROM drive and assign a drive letter to
the drive. Switch to the CD-ROM drive letter by keying in the drive letter, a
colon, then hitting the Enter key. (e.g. R: ) Then, enter the command SETUP
, and you are on your way... Ben Myers
