Ok, download and burn a WinME bootable CD. Image found here: http://www.thetechguide.com/howto/winmebootcd.html Start the system using that CD. Choose the number 2 option at boot (obviously not going to have WinME on there, so why start it's installation?). It will turn your CD drive into two separate drives. A and whatever drive letter is left after boot. Then, insert your Win98 CD into the CD drive once you're at the DOS prompt. Switch drive letters by typing in (for example) A:\>E: then press enter. (just type in the drive letter and the : at the prompt) Type setup and begin.
