Default Start - up disk process

I have cleaned and reformatted the HD and am attempting to
reinstall Win98SE.

Using option 1 - With CD Rom support:
After the CDRom driver is loaded and ASPI manager loads
the process hangs.

This hang does not occurr if Option 2 is selected but I
cannot identify a CDRom drive?

I have loaded DOS 6.2 but still cannot access the CDRom
drive.

Anyone ideas on fixing this or working around it?

Try a new startup floppy disk. 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 http://www.bootdisk.com/
