OS installation question

[FredLocks]

I'm a little confused, actually replace little with alot and confused with terrified, anyhow, after all my components are put together, I'm suppose to run fdisk and partition my harddrive. The anandtech FAQ tells me to install my boot disk to get to the dos prompt. I'm installing win 98 of a CD. Is the boot disk just a floppy startup disk I make from a computer with win 98 installed on it? Thanks

The win98 startup floppy will do fine. No need for fear -All the tools you'll need are on the floppy. Make a mistake and you can reformat and start over.

Thanks obenton......I have 1 more question, I've seen it posted here before but I can't find it now, after my OS is installed the FAQ told me to install video drivers first, should I install MOBO drivers next or does it matter... Thanks

Install your chipset/IDE drivers staright after a new OS install. That gives you a stable platform to install everything else later.
