    OK then...

    1) Download the attachment I've enclosed in this post and save to some place temporarily. It is a file called W98Boot.zip. Unzip this file, which will create a file called W98Boot.IMG. You will need this IMG file below.

    2) Create a directory on one of your drives called Win98CD. Copy in to it "all" the files and directories off the Win98 CD you have.

    3) Open up you cd burning program. I'm going to be using Nero here.

    4) Choose the option to create a new bootable cd (cd-rom (boot)).

    5) You'll need to supply a boot image (the boot tab). This is where you will tell it to use the W98Boot.IMG image file you downloaded and saved in step 1. In terms of options here you want to use a) Floppy Emulation 1.44mb, b) the default nero boot-loader, c) the load segment will be 07C0, and d) the number of sectors to load will be 1.

    6) Add all the files and folers from the Win98CD directory you created in step 2 to your cd complilation.

    7) Finally, burn the cd.

    That's it.
