Default Need help to help "Windows Setup requires 7340"

Global.net or experts-exchange.com) that gave popup need to download Activex

Need help to helpI get this : "Windows Setup reqiures 7340"...
I'm trying to install Win98 on a 1999 Sony Vaio laptop, model PCG-430, with
a new blank Hard Drive.
I went to the E: drive (which is the temporary location of the CD-Drive) and
typed in "setup".
This appeared on the screen:
"Please wait while setup initializes.
Scanning systen registry...
Windows Setup requires 7340"

What does that mean?
I can't switch to any other drive since there is no drive prompt present.
After I power off the laptop and restart it, the same text appears. I can't
do anything, including entering the BIOS!
HELP Please!
I need to get this laptop running asap for a project.
