Re: Can't install windows 98

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

If you're getting the DOS window that says 'Press any key to boot from
CD', then you are obviously using a bootable CD (which is good, so
far.)

There IS a little trick to it, though. When you see that message, you
only have 3-4 seconds to press a key on your keyboard. So, try it again
and be a little faster (but don't press any key BEFORE seeing the
message).
