It is Windows 98 Start-Up floppy disk which is created in
the process of installing Windows 98. The floppy disk
which comes with W98 CDROM may work but I am not sure.
Please note that the partition to be set active is the one
where W98 is installed.
Instead of executing sys C: , executing FDISK /BOOT will
do the same thing.
My understanding is that presently W98 does not boot but
the partition where W98 is installed is still there and
nver be reformatted or deleted. You can check if my
assumption as above is correct or not by using Disk
Information option of FDISK. You have to do this anyway
to determine which partion is the one to be set active.
