Need Win98 SE disc

I am trying to install a USB 10/100 ethernet adapter. Win
98 detects the new hardware and I try to install the
driver. It gets only so far and then requires that I
insert the Win98 disc, which I do not have, as the OS was
installed at the factory. I have had the same problem in
the past with the installation of other hardware. I had
to take my computer to a local computer repair shop so he
can use his disc. The cost ranges from $50 to $150 and I
can't seem to buy a disc anywhere. Is there anyway I can
supply the necessary information for the driver
installation without going to someone who has a disc and
charging an arm and a leg. Thanks, Bill

Two possibilities:

1. The CD files might be on the hard disk. Do a search for
"win*.cab". If they're found, point to the folder that they're in.

2. If another network adapter is already installed (or maybe even if
it isn't), the necessary files might already be installed. When it
asks for the CD, tell it to look in C:\Windows\System and/or
C:\Windows\System32.

IMHO opinion, that's an outrageously high charge at the local computer
store.
