Default Looking for a boot disk

I have no floppy drives anymore and I need to make a window 98 SE, Milenium
boot disk, my old one wore out. I have some old systems I am working on and
I use it a lot; but I never made more than 1 disk (dumb). I would make my
own, but I don't have a working system from that era to make a new one. If
someone has the boot information so I can boot with CDrom drivers I can hook
up a portable floppy drive and make a new one; from one of my newer systems.

Thanks, DCMiller

Start one of old Windows 98 computers, tap the F8 key repeatedly until the
startup menu appears and select "Command Prompt". Then insert a blank
floppy and type the following two lines:

cd windows\command
bootdisk a:
