reinstalling windows from boot disk

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
