Clean install dilema

I'm stuck.
 
I have an old WIN98  IBM laptop that I'm going to dispose of so I used a Kill Disk 
floppy to write zeros over everything.

 
Then I decided to re-install just for fun.  I did fdisk to create the primary DOS 
partition then formatted it.   Now I can't manage to install WIn98 from the disk. 
 
 
I went into BIOS to change the boot to CD ROM, but it didn't stick....I think.
 
Could it possibly be due to the original Win98 being an OEM version and I have a 
regular Win98 disk?  I bought it used so I don't have the original disk, but do have 
the key code.
 
Any ideas out there in guru land?
