Default invalid hibernation partition/file????

Here's what I've got.
D/L and copied to a floppy BootItng.exe. (had to d/l on another system)
Made a bootable floppy when I installed Win98se.
Problem is, Iv'e set BIOS to read floppy 1st, Cd 2nd and then HD but this
system isn't following instructions.
When the system starts, I can't hear either disk running and then I get
error msg.

I'm confused, when you say to make a bootable floopy unless you're taking
about something other than the one I create with win98se.
Also, run Bootitng.exe--- how when the system locks up even though I have
the bootable floopy in the drive.

Sorry, that download from BootIt NG is a ZIP file. Unzip that to a new
folder and then run BOOTITNG.EXE file in that folder.

My suggestion is to get a copy of BootIt NG from www.bootitng.com. No
need to pay, just download the EXE, make a bootable floppy or CD
installer, reboot to the floppy or CD and then CANCEL THE INSTALLATION!
That will drop you into Maintenance Mode where you can choose Partition
Work. See what's listed there in the middle panel. More than just the one
partition where you installed Win98? If so, please list them for us here,
including name, size, type.

What's the make/model of the machine?

Followed link.
Problem is there is no such option.
Nothing looks close to an auto Save-to-file option.

Received a donated laptop for our local historical society.
Reformatted HD, everything worked/loaded, but when I restart system it
locks up, no keyboard, nothing with the following msg.
"Invalid hibernation partition/file run hd-----"
I can get into BIOS, using Del key, but that's it.

I've tried to use the startup floppy that was created during Win
install but no go.
I've put in the win98se cd and still nothing.

Is this a win98se problem or did I do something?
