If it's a full 98se cd then you can boot off the cd just change the BIOS to
allow it to boot from CD.  If it's an upgrade, then you have to install or
supply the 95cd to verify you're elegible to upgrade.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Problem installing Win98 SE.


> I've a CROM Win98 SE, and would like to install it into my computer.
Previously, I had format and partition my HD using a Win95 bootdisk (Because
I do not have a Win98 SE bootdisk). When I try to use Setup Win98 SE using
the CDROM, I got a lot of errors. Mostly it stated that I'm missing a lot of
files. Therefore I cannot install Win98 SE. I cannot name all the files here
because it was too much (about 15 of them). I think maybe because I did not
using a Win98 SE bootdisk, that is why I got these error messages.
> I have two parts question: First is, what file(s) do I need to install any
OS system? Second, do I need to reformat and re-partition my HD if the
problem was Win95 bootdisk? Any help would greatly appreciate.
> Sincerely your,
