Your post is not clear. What are you attempting to do--copy the setup files
from the W98 CD to your laptop hard drive so that you can put the drive back
in the laptop and install W98? If this is the case, do you want to do a
clean install (format the drive) or install over the top of an existing
system?

Hi!

My CD Rom is not working and i don't have floppy in my Laptop. I have
window98 CD and a desktop computer with windows xp on it. I have removed
the harddisk of my laptop and connected to the desktop. How can i transfer
system files on the first partition of the external harddisk from windows
98 CD so that i can boot from the harddisk directly?

Thanks!
