Default Install 98 on laptop

I have a laptop with no OS on it and need to know how to install 98 on it,
there is no floppy drive just a CD drive and I do have a 98 disk.


Go into the BIOS setup, find "Boot Sequence" and make sure
it is set to "CD, C:". If it isn't, change it and save the new settings.
Then insert the Windows 98 CD and restart the computer. If this
doesn't help, please repost with more information, including the
manufacturer and model of the laptop.

Default UpDate - Install 98 on laptop

Got it installed, I think the problem was the partition needed activated.
I'd never heard of having to activate a partition but after I did it, I was
able to install 98. I downloaded several handy CDs, Ultimate Boot CD and a
boot 98se CD. Alas I think that the laptop is too new as the other poster
said that 98 won't have all the drivers, plus the old problem that I always
seemed to run into was during install, about 20 files were missing and I
ain't tracking em all down plus the 6-8 drivers to operate all the little
things. It was fun but I think now I'll spot the $25 for a restore cd from
emachine and put xp back on. Thanks to all.
