Default Install win98 usb hard drive

I have a notebook travelmate 520 , the ide channel is damage, i
connect a USB hard drive and i want to install win98.

I found the right DOS driver and map the USB hard drive to C:\
I start the windows installation
(Windows ask me the driver of the external device?)
After this start the hardware recogniction procedure and windws crash
with the error: "I can't write on c:\"

Obviusly because it try to connect to the device and make confusion
with the old driver?

Have you an idea for example:
Jump the hardaware recognition?
Install linke a hard drive SCSI, i thik it is the same but USB.
Include the driver in the W98 installation.

Thank rmartin
