reinstalling windows from boot disk

[Scee]

I?ve been trying to reinstall windows 98 SE because of some stability issues on my machine. However installation keeps stalling from windows, so I?m going to try it from a boot disk. This won?t wipe my HD right?

Also, have have separate 98 and SE disks. So should I use the win98 floppy that came with that disk, or the new 98se disk, created after they were both installed? Similarly, should I reinstall from the 98 or SE disc when I?m doing it from a boot disk?

Is there some source on the net for boot disk floppies with good cd support, because I had some issues with that last time. Thanks!

Your post is a little confusing to me. Whenever I've installed 98 or 98se, all I did was use a 95 floppy to fdisk and format the hard drive. Then, I make a local win98 directory on the hard drive, copy the cab files from the cd over to the harddrive directory I just made and ran setup from there.

1. fdisk; delete old partitions and create new ones
2. reboot
3. format c: /s
4. c:
5. mkdir win98
6. copy d:\win98 c:\win98
7. cd win98
8. setup
9. follow instructions that comes up
