Like you found, no mention of that exact phrase found on the Internet.

I'm trying to install Win98 on a 1999 Sony Vaio laptop, model PCG-430, with
a new blank Hard Drive.
I went to the E: drive (which is the temporary location of the CD-Drive) and
typed in "setup".

How did he get to E:? Is the CD bootable? Did he boot to a floppy, then switch
to E:? Is the 98 CD a Microsoft original, or some $5 eBay hack job?
