Can't Access Windows, And No Boot Disk, How Do I Reformat And Reinstall Windows 98?

I can't access Windows and I don't have a Windows 98 Boot Disk. Is there a way to reformat without a Boot Disk?

Cool

WIN98 is bootable. Just change BIOS to boot from CD and put your CD in and boot up.

Before you give up and format, just hold down the CTRL key during boot, select "Command Prompt Only" from the menu, and at the c:\ prompt, type: scanreg
Select a date to restore that is a known working one.
