Unhappy compaq M300 boot problem

I have a problem with a formatted compaq armada m300.I want to install W98 on it but there is no internal cd-rom .I've got an external one
but when I insert an boot disk it aborts intalling the mscdex driver,because there in no drive detected.The cd-rom is connected by a PC-Card (PCMCIA).How can I install Windows if I can't use a CD-ROM.In the HELP file I read that there are no drivers included for CD-ROM drives that works via PC-Card.Does anyone knows where I can get them or what to do next.Help please I'm desperate.

Go to bootdisk.com and create a floppy with cdrom drivers.
