Default having trouble installing win98 on a laptop with no os

I got a laptop free and wanted to install 98 on it, a clean install for my
nephew. I burned a bootcd, and managed to format and partition it, my

trouble
starts because I dont have another disk drive to put the iso I have in, I
only have the one drive, the laptop does not have a Floppy drive.


Any suggestions? Whenever I try and use any setup commands I get invalid
media trying to read disk


Win98 cd's at least legit ones are generally bootable
so you do not need a floppy


Great idea, but the CD is not a boot option and the bios has no way to
make it a boot option. Any suggestions?

Thanks
