Hi Lufini,

The correct WIn98 Startup Disk is a boot disk. In addition it sets up your CD reader to work and has some useful diagnostics. It gets you to DOS (A:>). The last thing it tells you is the current Letter for the CD. Go to that CD (E: enter) or whatever the letter is and type SETUP enter. That gets the install going. Just follow the directions.

Good Luck, JIm
