Upgrade Windows for Workgroups to Win98

My Hard Drive Died. The Drive that was installed in it's place has an old version of Windows for Workgroups on it. I want to upgrade to the Windows 98 I already had before my hard drive died.

Problem:

My CD-RW is not working...until I resolve that issue I only have a 3.5 drive. My Windows Disk is a CD...can I get a copy of Windows 98 on Floppy to install on this system???? Will I have to purchase the Floppy version since I already have a CD version???

Another Question:

How do I install Windows 98 over the current Windows for Workgroups? This computer has DOS 6.2.

Any Assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Cool

I do not berlieve WIN98 comes on floppies. You will need to get the CD issue resolved.
