I was helping a friend reformat his hard drive and reinstall Windows 98 (second edition) when we discovered (a bit late, unfortunately) that he did NOT have one of the CDs needed.

Windows 98 SE hangs while installing on a Dual Tech Laptop when it gets to the Setting Up Hardware part with 11 minutes to go. I have tried the fixes using the System Configuration Utility and also the troubleshoot and help screens in safe mode. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
