I have Windows 98 (I know old) and on the Gateway system restoration disc it says to reinstall Widows 2000, Windows 98, or Windows 95, restart your computer with this CD in the drive and select boot from CD-ROM. So does this mean I can install Windows 2000 with this disc?

Hey, Its kinda to old to have windows 98 LOL .
When you turn on your computer insert windows 98 cd before it loads. or after bios appears. It should boot the disc. then follow the instruciotns to install the windows.

No, there is no way a CD could hold installers for three operating systems. The instructions were very general and you will have to only take the instructions that apply to your system. The CD will allow you to reinstall your operating system to the one that CAME WITH YOUR SYSTEM (in your case, I guess it is Windows 98).

Windows 2000 is specific about what hardware will work with it. If you do not have Win2K compatible hardware, it doesn't matter whether or not Win2K is on the disc. Most likely, since it had Win98 installed, you do not meet the hardware requirements to install or run Win2K.

It will install whatever version(s) of windows which is on your recovery cd-rom. If I were you I'd buy Windows XP.

I don't think so.
They probably wrote the same instructions for a lot of diferent systems, so they had to give all the possibilities.
