If you can't fit a square peg into a round hole, get a bigger hammer!! 


If you still can't get the external CD-ROM drive working after all the advice given, 
you may want to try this as a last resort. 

Make sure the drive is formatted first, remove it from the laptop and connect it 
to another computer via USB using an external hard drive case. Then copy the entire 
win98 folder from your Windows 98 installation CD to the hard drive.

Reinstall the hard drive back into the laptop, boot from the floppy and run the Windows 
98 installation from the win98 folder on the drive.

It all depends on how difficult it is to remove the hard drive, and how badly you 
want to use that laptop.
