Thread Starter 
my friend bought this computer from another friend...somehow he was able to get xp on it...it was so messed up with viruses and other problems i wiped the drive for him...he does not have a recovery cd for the computer...having problems trying to install 98 on it...he does have a dvd/cd drive and a floppy drive for the laptop...i finally got into the bios but for some reason, can not get the machine to boot from the dvd/cd rom...on boot up it says cannot find os...any suggestions?

boot to the floppy then install from the CD.. (bootdisk.com) should give you a boot disk with CD-Rom drivers.
