A win98 boot diskette can be made by going to the control panel and selecting add/remove programs then select the Startup Disk TAB and the click on create disk. You must have a 1.44 MB formatted diskette with NO bad sectors. This will allow you to boot to a "DOS" prompt.

from the "A:" prompt type
format c: /q ;answer yes to are you sure?
md c:win98
copy D:win98 C:win98 ; where D: is your CD-ROM
c:
cd win98
setup

You will need the WIN98 or WIN98SE FOLDER from the Install CD and the 25 character registration code. I usually make a text file with the CD key and put it in the WIN98 directory on my hard drive.

WIN98 Directory on the Hard Drive? YES!
I copy the WIN98 directory to the hard drive and run the setup from the hard drive. Then I never have to look for the 98 CD when a program asks for it.

How do I upload an image after I post a question on this site? Though I have jpeg I still get note on the side that says: "to create links, just type the address with no HTML code. Use the preview button at the bottom to verify". My picture is too big.

I put in a windows 98 startup disk in my computer and booted it into DOS. When I type in 'setup' or 'setup.exe' it says 'program cannot be run in DOS mode'. How can I use my startup disk?
