Windows 98 SE ReInstall Problems

[SW04]

I have installed new motherboard, cpu, ram and am trying to reinstall Windows 98 on old hard drive. Using Startup Floppy have come to the A:. When I type set up it tells me:

Cannot create temporary directory.
If you have HPFS of NTFS installed on your hard drive,
you will need to create an MS-DOS boot partition to set up Windows.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

If I boot w/o the startup disk it locks up at the windows 98 screen.

98 does not have support for the NFTS file system so u will hafta run fdisk and format it as a FAT32. Make sure that u dont have ne data on the hard drive 1st (obviously)
