Windows Millennion

Hi, I have removed Windows Millennion from my computer and installed windows xp, only to find out that I cannot have them running on two computers with one licence. I know, I should have kept the old one before removing the new one. I have an old windows 98 that I bought and used some years ago, but I am finding it impossible to install as I need a floppy startup disc, and have not got one. How the hell do I go about getting one?
Please could you help me ( I am begging you all)
Walter

Not sure what you mean by "one license." ME has it's own, as does XP... ?? Also, 98 can install from CD so I'm not sure why you would want a start up disk...

O/s

I think I have now got stuck, as I have now manage to install windows98 but have a problem with the startup as the computer now starts doing this 2 tone bleeping as soon as you turn it on and then slows down and stops as it goes along. I am trying to delete one of the O/S as it says that there are more than one on the hard drive. Not sure how to muck around with the partitons, as when I do it is a bit of luck when I get it right or not.
I like playing on computers as I find it very satisfing when I get it going well. I lso find that there are 3 drivers missing and when I try to reinstall them it says that the computer can't find them. How the hell is one to find them when I don't no the make or model of the PCI bus or the Sound or the monitor as the monitor has no name on it.
Sorry if this is too much in one go but I am stuck for ideas.
