Default Windows 98 Installation/boot original disk

My original installation floppy disk that came in the box
is damaged. I would like to download the disk but I can't
find it anywhere. I found boot disks but the menu does
not show and oemsetup.exe tells you to insert the
original disk and choose setup win98 from the menu. Can
anyone send me the original floppy disk files or direct
me to a download site? Thanks.

You can make a floppy boot disk with the Fat32ebd.exe file located on the
W98 CD: tools/mtsutil/fat32ebd or you can download one he
