Best way to install Win98 on your hard disk is to boot from your CD-ROM.
This can be done on most newer computer by selecting the boot order in the
BIOS configuration. If you can't boot from CD, then you would need to boot
from floppy WITH support for a CD-ROM. Such boot disks can be created by
downloading the appropriate "boot disk" file from www.freepctech.com. Of
course, you would have to go to a working computer to download the file and
create the boot disk.

Once you have the proper boot disk, boot it and select the option to support
CD-ROM. You can then access the CD and start the install procedure. You
would have to do all this from the command line (A:>) as there will be no
Windows interface with the floppy disk boot.

I have two hard drives in my old computer and both of them have been
formatted and have nothing on them. How do i go about installing an
operating system on the primary master drive? I made a start up disk prior
to reformatting them and now it seems to not be working (or i am clueless).
I have the Win98 SE cd in the cd-rom and the S/U disk in and it says it is
preparing to start then stops at a dos prompt that only says  A:\>      Now
what do i need to do? Thanks!!
