What Version of Windows? 98 or 95? Is it an OEM version, or an Upgrade Version? If it's an OEM version of 98, all you'll need is the Windows 98 Startup disk that installs CD drivers. Boot the system with the Win98 Startup disk and select Start Computer with CD-ROM support. Insert the Win98 CD and run Setup.

Just to add to Plaster's reply. If it is not OEM (i.e. Win95 or Win98 upgrade) you need to have the installation disks from your previous operating system (i.e. Win 3.11).
