How do you reinstall Win98SE in an HP Pavillion?

Have an older HP Pavillion 6730 that has the recovery disks, I just don't know how to use them. Anyone familiar with these older HPs? Thanks.

I had an HP a few years ago and was zapped by a nasty virus. If memory serves me, I just put the recovery CD in the CD Rom drive and rebooted. It installed the OS and the drivers. I think there was a 2nd CD that had some additional drivers. Make sure that your CD ROM drive is set as 1st boot device in the bios.
