looks like your CD is not bootable....because you should see A:/ if it is booting from CD... Try giving the command win98 and if the folder is already there on your c drive you can run the setup.exe....if not then you can copy win98 folder from your cd to your hard drive and then run the setup.exe

You have not successfully booted from CD-ROM. In the BIOS Setup page, set the 'boot priority' to: CD-ROM, C:.
The Windows 98 CD is NOT bootable, you will need a Win98 Startup Floppy Disk.

You are in the DOS mode. Try typing dir to see anything displayed. Try going to the other drive by typing a:, d:. Tty typing sys to see what system os loaded. also try dir/w and see whether the window directory is there. If yes, then type cd windows, and then type win.
