Howdy:

What exactly is it you need - the boot/startup floppy or the install cd ??

If it is simply a startup floppy, just go to www.bootdisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com) and download the Win98 OEM version to your computer.. Put a clean formatted floppy into a: drive and then double click the file you downloaded.. The extraction process will place the required files on the floppy..

If it is the actual cd, then that you will have to buy as it is not available legally anywhere online!!

Can someone please help?

Get the bootdisk from where I linked you to and make a new one..

Once you extract the files to the floppy, reboot the system.. It should start using that bootdisk..

Has this harddrive been formatted before??
