Check your Bios and change the boot order to cd first before hard drive or floppy.

i believe you cannot boot from the win98 cd..try installing xp instead..or use a different pc to make a win98 floppy boot disk.

configure your bios to first boot from your cd drive, then make a scandisk you will find the error, win98 is the best tool to troubleshoot a system...

Check the IBM support website with the model number of you laptop. That is the best way to find your answer

I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.
Some drive problems can be easily fixed by yourself using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required.
