That so called company should have told you that you need a startup disk. Do you have one?

Welcome to the forums, eric! Ok, now calm down and put your Win 98 CD in the drive and restart the computer. It should boot from the CD if it is set correctly in the BIOS. If it does an option to run Windows Setup should come up next. Proceed with setup. If it doesn't post back and we'll try to help further!
