This is a step-by-step on how to perform a Fresh Install of Windows 98. What you are going to need for this:

3) About 1-2 Hours 
 
The screen shots on this page are taken from a Windows 98SE OEM install 
using only the CD, on a unpartition Hard Drive. If you all ready have 
Windows 98 installed, you can skip to (Step 07) and continue on or skip to (Step 13), to delete the partition and start at (Step 01). If you cant find your Windows 98 Product Key then skip to (Step 14) before doing any of this.

Installing Windows 
 
(Step 01) 
You need to make sure that you have the BIOS/Startup, so that the CDROM 
drives boots before the Hard Drive. To do this, you need to enter the 
BIOS/Startup by pressing: ESC, F1, F2, or DEL. Usually during POST (boot
 up) there should be something on the bottom stating on how to enter the
 BIOS/Startup. Press the button that it says to press or try one of the 
above until you enter BIOS/Startup Menu. Now using the arrow keys, there
 should be a tab that says, Startup/Boot Order. Under that should be a 
list with a list of options, make the 1st Boot - Floppy/3.5 Floppy, 2nd 
Boot - CDROM, 3rd Boot - Hard Drive, 4th Boot - Other. Place the CD in 
the CDROM Drive, save and exit the BIOS settings.
