do you have both the floppy drive & cd rom but can only use 1 at a time as both use same port. is that correct?

can you go into the bios to change the boot sequence so that the rom drive boots before the hd. also is your win98 cd bootable?

try boot drive sequence & set to floppy, cdrom & hd in that order. could be using the enter button to bring up a menu that you change. could be using the + & - keys to change it. should tell you on lower right side of screen.
