System BIOS but no OS boot

Yes, this is yet another fixer and I may just part it out cuz it's an old one... so It's a Vaio PCG F100 or something like that. I can enter and edit Bios (I reset to the defaults btw) and when I let it run through normal boot procedure and stops at "No OS installed." Fine, no problem right, run the Win 98 disc and it's ready to resell... no such luck. When I boot from CD and start the Win98 setup, i can hear the CD spinning for a minute or two but then it stops and the setup never initializes. I've tried two drives and two opticals with no success and I'm quite baffled. Suggestions?
