I unplugged the floppy, just to help
I changed the cd rom to 1st to boot in the bios

still says invalid system disk
replace the disk, and then press any key

not sure what to do now
thanks guys

 
Are you trying to boot off of a bootable cd-rom? Are you sure it's bootable? Explain completely what you're trying to do.
 
I'm trying to boot off the windows 98 cdrom
I figured that was bootable
the floppy I tried using was a win98 system disk
thanks
I'm just trying to get in and install win98se
 
I don't know if your disk is bootable or not. You can always do it this way:

Use a Win98 Boot Disk, and boot up with CD-ROM support.
Copy the full contents of the folder "WIN98" off of the CD to "C:/WINDOWS/OPTIONS"
Change dir to C:/windows/options
Type "setup"

And you will be installing Win98.
 
thanks man, I just realized I was doing something wrong in bios
and figured out the boot disk
I booted from cdrom and began installing win98
I guess I will figure out my floppy later
