Problem Re-installing Windows 98
My old PC's had some files deleated/moved (my bad) and I need to reinstall Windows. However, I've lost the physical CD and am forced to use the copy on the D drive. Since some of the missing files are important there are random Blue Screens that force a restart. Is there a way to run setup without being in windows? If not, is there a way that my new computer can do the installing?

Go here.
Bootdisk.com and download a DOS boot disk.
Type
d:
cd "folder where the copy of windows is"
