If your talking about wiping the hard drive clean and doing a fresh install of Win98 then that slightly different. You will need a Bootdisk. Make sure the BIOS is setup to read the floppy drive first in the boot sequence. Make sure that Format.com and Fdisk.exe are on the boot disk. Start your computer up with the boot disk inserted. If you only have one hard drive with no partitions then that drive will be C: and your CD Rom will be D:. At the A:\ prompt type in D: and enter if the CD Rom drivers are working then the prompt should go to D:\. With the Win98 CD in the drive just type Dir to see if you can see the files on the root of the CD. Go back to the floppy drive type A: and enter. Then type Format C: and confirm Y to erase the drive. Depending on how big the drive is it could take a few minutes. I have a 20Gb HD and it takes 15-20 minutes to format. After the format is complete you can label the drive, normally I just type in Hard drive. When it formats it checks the drive for back sectors, you should see the final report when it finished. Now type in D: (CD Rom drive letter) and enter then just type in Setup and enter. Just follow all the prompts to install Win98.
