If you need a Windows 98SE boot disk, here's one I put together earlier this year:

Save it to disk, put a blank floppy in the drive and double-click on the filename. In a few seconds you'll have a bootable floppy that will FDISK and FORMAT your drive, and it will also autodetect your CD-ROM as "R:" (in case you have a bunch of disk partitions). What I do is create a subdirectory on C: called "Win98.cd" and copy all the files from R:\Win98\ onto C:\Win98.cd\ and run setup.exe from there. It saves a lot of hassles and you'll never have to re-insert the Windoze CD any time you need a driver, install new hardware, etc.
A couple other surprizes on the floppy are 2 registry hacks -
Remember how Win95 used to create columns of Programs from the Start Menu? For some reason Win98 makes you scroll up and down instead. I hate that. But "menuscroll.reg" will fix it.
The other one - "maxcashe.reg" - creates 3 more levels of system and disk cashe that will speed up your system dramatically!!! (If you don't like it, you can always change the setting back under My Computer/Properties/Performance/File System.)
If you're worried what's in these, they're just text files so open them with Notepad and you can see what I'm doing. Double-clicking will add them to your registry.
Anyone who wants this is welcome to it. If you just need the reg hacks, they're here:

You may have to right-click and select "Save Link As.." to save them to disk.
Remember - these are for Windows 98 Second Edition only.
