I still can't install an os. I still get the message
that this computer doesn't have enough extended memory.
I
have tried the suggestion that Bill gave but it didn't
work. I would really appreciate some help on this
matter.

It won't let me browse the CD. I just get a message to
reinsert the CD. I reinsert it and the same message just
keeps coming up. The computer I'm using has XP on it.

Using the computer you are posting with, put in the W98
CD and browse to:
tools/mtsutil/fat32ebd Double click the Fat32ebd.exe
file and follow the on
screen prompts to make a new startup disk. For
information on installing
W98, go to:

I keep getting the following message: "the windows

startup diak could not create a temporary drive for
the
diagnostic tools. This may be because this computer
has
less than the minimum required extended memory.
Path not found - :\COMMAND.COM
Path not found - :\EXTRACT.EXE
Path not found - :\README.TXT
Bad command or file name
The diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to
drive.
File not found."

Nothing I try works. This is a new hard drive with
nothing on it.

You are posting to a W98 newsgroup and didn't think it was essential to tell
