I have a Fujitsu laptop with a cleared out hard drive. It
has a modular bay for both floppy and CD drive. How can I
install windows 98? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Laptops are not all the same--I suggest you check your user's guide and
see if they give instructions.

Make sure the hard drive in the laptop is bootable, then download
http://207.193.143.215/derek_stuff/My%20downloads/Boot%20Disks/cdindos.exe
and use it to create an installation floppy. Start the laptop
in DOS, then insert the floppy, type "a:\install" and press "Enter".
After the installation is complete, shut down, remove the
floppy drive, install the CD drive and restart.
