Hi Alan,

Most new BIOS setups these days allow you to boot from the CD ROM.  If you
have the full version of either OS, you should be able to set the BIOS to
boot to the CD ROM first, insert the CD as soon as you boot the system, and
install from there.

Good luck!

Hi All

Just about to build my first PC.
Question: What do I use to boot up for the first time if I want to load :
1. Windows 98 or
2. Windows ME

Thanks in advance.
