When booting the computer hit f8 a couple times and there is a screen that comes up for dos prompt and safe mode, if you want to put on windows 98 from XP PRo you will need to format the system co go to the bios(del) as soon as the computer turns on and see the boot priority list of devices. ex. cd rom, floppy, drives

make sure floppy is set to the first device to boot off of, then follow the orriginal ored from device 2-3 and other.

when 98 boot disk starts go to "start with cd rom support"

when all the crap is dont loading off the floppy and you are at the a:\ prompt

type, format c:\ , y,,, and wait for completion

then after it is done it will ask for a volume label, just hit enter

a:\ will show up again and type setup
it will do a quick scan of the drives and open the windows 98 installer,.

all done.

hope this is in order and helpful
