I re-installed Windows 98 two months ago and the system
was working fine until one week ago. When I tried to turn
on the pc, it did not go thru its normal progressions. In
other words, its was not booting up. It just had a
blinking cursur underneath the text as follows;

Award Modular Bios v4,51pg, an Energy Star Ally
Copyright(c)1984-99, Award Software, Inc.
SBA0908
Intel(R) Celeron(TM)CPU at 533mhz
_ (blinking curser)

So I contacted the makers of my pc and they told me to re-
install Windows 98 again. So I began installing it again,
but now I am stuck on the last step which happens to be
step 4 of 4. (Reloading Windows 98)

Step 4 starts as follows:
1. I have started the computer with the Windows 98 start
up disk and selected BOOT WITH CD ROM SUPPORT.  

MSCDEX VERSION 2.25
Copyright(c)Microsoft corp. 1986-1995. All rights
reserved.
DRIVE E: = Driver MSCD001 UNIT 0

2. I then typed E: and hit enter. Then I typed SETUP and
hit enter to start the setup as the instructions suggest.
Here below is the error that comes up:

E:\>SETUP
Bad command or file name

IT WON'T LET ME GO ANY FURTHER TO COMPLETE THE
INSTALLATION. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP, DO YOU HAVE ANY
SUGGESTIONS?

you may need to use the following after E:

win98\setup
