Seeing you are unable to get a cd rom from your dad I ran a search on one you could buy. They run under $50.00. If you have someone who has a USB floppy try it and see if windows detects it. Win 98 will support many USB floppy drives but may not support all. But if I were you and you had a choice of either purchasing a USB Floppy or an actual CD-rom, I would get the CD-Rom.
Thanks,
Bill
