Default no product key

I have lost the product key and my A drive doesn't work. I have installed
win98 again after wiping the drive out and can only get as far as the key
entry & as I don't have it, it just shuts down. What can I do

When you wiped the drive you wiped the Registry record
of your product key. So you must borrow or buy another
instal CD with a known product key.

Floppy drives can be replaced easily for about $20. Everyone
planning to instal the OS requires an operating floppy
drive, an operating CD drive and an OS CD with product key.
