Check your CD burning program--some (like Nero) will create a bootable CD.

Default BO0T CD FOR 98 WITH CD ROM SUPPORT

To make a bootable CD Windows Setup disk using Nero or Roxio, etc., you need
to have a Setup floppy, or an ISO made from a Setup floppy, on hand. Kind of
a Catch-22, g.

Have to use a machine with both a floppy drive and a CD burner to create the
CD.

I thought of that as I clicked the send button :-) For OP: A new floppy
drive costs around $10--you can probably pick up a used one for next to
nothing at a PC shop.

If you are desperate and do not have access to a machine with both a floppy
and a CD burner, email me and I will send you an ISO from which you can
create a bootable CD. Please tell me exactly which version of the Setup
floppy you which to convert to CD. Use the list found he

OK, but does it contain the tools one might need for Windows setup? Like
FDISK and FORMAT? Scandisk? Etc.?

Good to know. I'll have to look into it when I get over to the machine with
Nero on it. Thanks!

It should be right in the nero folder as dosbootimage.ima

you can use winImage or similar software to create a boot floppy

or create a bootable cd by running nero burning
