I would say that the real problem is the cd drive not working, the computer only has the cd drive, no (working)floppy

Hi MrNasty567,

What kind of computer is this...a home built or a store bought name brand PC?

Are you using a real Win98 installation CD or a Restore or Recovery CD that came with the computer?
