Back up all your data from '95, run fdisk from the win98 boot diskette,
say yes to large disk support, remove all partitions and create at
least a primary DOS partition then reboot and format C: .
MS KB article 255867 explains how to do this.
Next restart your PC with the win98 boot diskette and the win98 CD in
the drive, setup will launch automatically, if not, then you will have
to change drives and CD to the win98 folder on the CD.

Tip: your boot diskette may install a RAM drive -making your CD letter
one higher, also if you have more than one partition D: will not be
the CD letter, adjust to suit your setup.

EG: PC boots to the A:\> prompt when you start the PC with a boot
diskette on a single partitioned HDD so enter these commands as shown

A:\>
A:\> D: <enter>
D:\>
D:\> CD win98 <enter>
D:\win98:\> setup <enter>
