    Firstly setting your BIOS so that the CD-ROM is the first detected bootable device may be all you need to do.

    Otherwise, to create a bootable floppy diskette at the command line type

    format a: /s

    When you boot using this diskette - changing first bootable device to FD - go to the prompt for your CD-ROM, e.g., D.

    Type at the A prompt (A:/>) d:

    Now you are at the CD-ROM command line prompt (d:/>). Type setup.exe

    You CD-Rom for Win98 will start to spin and load.
