in this thread i mention making a bootable windows 98 cd.

dell computer...repairable or not???

some people will undoubtedly pipe up and say yours is bootable, but chances are if you are having that problem, it is not.

you will need a tool that understands how to do "el-torrito" bootable cd's.

i can't explain it much more, not without asking for some input from the rest of the staff.

basically, i can say this... if you have a bootable floppy, and your windows 98cd, and a burner, and a floppy drive, and roxio, or another good burning tool, then you should have all the components to create the bootable win98 cd.
