Need help installing

by riccjohn Aug 23, 2007 6:58AM PDT

I found my old Windows98 CD and manual. When I go to install it on a new hd, it doesn't boot from cd. I'm guessing this is because I need to first boot from a Win98 floppy. Does anyone know where I can get the right boot disks for the install? Also, when I install, will it give me the option to resize my current partition so that I can dual boot? Thank you!

2. There is never a need to resize the partition. Just create them of the size you intended to start with.
