There it is.

|I need to know how to remake a usable win98se cd

*Useable* is easy.  Unless you had write errors, it IS useable.
**Bootable** is another issue.

Make a bootable *floppy* and use the CD **after** you get the PC booted.
There are 3 ways that folks use to make a 98 boot floppy:

+Bootdisk.com+SYS-A+Add-Remove-Programs

If you ARE using a boot floppy and the CD still ain't installing the OS,
burn another CD at the SLOWEST possible speed
and use the best media you can afford.
