Check you haven't left a floppy disk in the drive.

You'll have to change the source path here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup Make a Cabs folder under c:\ and change the src path to it |

Get back to basics here. When is it asking for a system disk? When you are installing Windows or when it is already installed and you are trying to change a setting? If it is when you are trying to change a setting, you will need the CD that you used to install it or you can copy the win98 directory to your hard drive and point it there. Either way you will have to have a Windows 98 CD.

Definitely need more info.
Is it asking for the disk at startup? Or like Mairving stated?
