Boot with a Win98 boot disk (http://www.bootdisk.com), fdisk your drive to
remove your NTFS partition(s) (if applicable), add a primary DOS partition,
restart, then "format c:". This should format your drive with the FAT file
system and be ready to install Win98. Reboot the machine with the Win98 CD
in the drive plus the boot disk in the floppy drive. Select "with CD-ROM
support" from the startup menu. Now, go to your CD-ROM drive; I believe
there is a setup.exe either in the root of the CD or in the i386 folder.
Run that, and it should start the installation process.
