Hi All, Windows 98 as far as I can remember came in two parts one floppy disk and one CD. The floppy was the startup disk. I think the later versions Windows 98SE may just have been on CD. The startup disk and the ISO are available on the net. I understand that there is a floppy disk version on Windows 98 which is/was available from MS but was 39 Disks. There seem to be plenty of second hand internal IDE CD readers on various websites. Best of luck,
