Dhuri,
Your bootable CD is the custom CD prepared using Bart's recommendations,
http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/
So it is not the standard bootable CD (BTW, as far as I know, only the
OEM Win98/98SE installation CDs may be bootable - but not the standard
MS CDs), and what you can do using it - depends on what is placed there
by the person who prepared it.
Do you see any menu after

message? Probably you have about 30 seconds to select a choice, and if
something like 'Win98 installation disk' is there - select it, and run:
sys a: c:
after booting is completed.
Or:
You can create a standard bootable Win98 diskette (in Win98: Control
Panel - Add/Remove Programs - Boot Disk tab). Then write an empty
bootable Data CD at the computer with almost any burning program
installed - using this diskette as the boot image source for bootable
CD. Then boot your computer from this CD, and see above (sys a: c

Dear friends,
I had windows 98 as my operating system. I tried to upgrade it to windows
2000 pro, but some error occurred and trial failed. Now while booting I was
prompted two options with windows 2000 as the default choice and 5 seconds to
shift to windows 98. So I tried to modify the boot.ini file. But by mistake I
damaged the boot.ini file and now I am not getting screen option of windows
98 .
My only option is switching over to windows 2000 which is not functioning. I
activated the booting option by using F8. I tried using all the modes like
safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, enable
boot logging and the others. But by pressing any of the above options I am
again being directed to windows 2000 boot up and my PC is getting hanged.
My floppy drive is not working?
I changed the boot sequence in CMOS set up and tried to boot from CD with
bootable CD. But while booting I am getting message “ Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM
: CD-ROM Loader v1.2 BETA 09/07/01 © 2001 BY Bart Lagerweij.”
Please note that my CD drive ( sony CD writer) is working fine otherwise
within an operating system.
I tried all boot up sequences and all CMOS setup options.
I am not able to start my PC.
How to get command from for my hard drives as well as that CD drive?
