Basically, if your system can boot from the cd you put the cd in the drive and follow the instructions. Otherwise, put the cd in the cd drive and the floppy in the floppy drive and turn the machine on. Follow the instructions.

Here's a link to an ms article describing the installation procedure with alot of additional information:

Hi Markey1

Place the floppy in your drive and boot the computer. When prompted, answer yes to installing CD-ROM support.

Once you see an A:\> prompt, insert the Win98 CD and type : so if your cd-rom has been assigned to D type:

d:

then press enter. Next type:

CD Win98

then press enter, then type

setup

and press enter

The installation will now start.

To do the above, you need to make sure you have enough space on your hard drive to install Windows 98.

Good luck
