What you need is the INSTALLATION boot diskette...

that initiates setup and has the necessary CD Drivers on it.

If you don't have one try going to www.bootdisk.com and locating the Win 98 boot diskette with CD Support.

NO, you don't 'have to pay' to get it from there.

Simply go to http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm and pick the one needed (Win 98 in his case).

He requests a donation and I do recommend making one but it is not mandatory.
