Hi,

the A:\setup, I believe A: was a floppy. Well, setup isn't on the floppy, so it can't work the way you did.

Therefore scrap the boot disk and boot from the CD. Now it should work.

Go into the BIOS! set your CD-ROM to first bootable device!!!!! save changes then!!! boot from the Windows 98 CD! then Install!!!!!

if you are unable to boot from the win98cd then boot with a win98
boot disk with cdrom suport and at the a: type E:\SETUP as the win98 boot disk makes a ram drive so your c drive becomes D and you D drive becomes E
