Installing CD ROM from Dos

[kings23]

I just formatted my hard drive on a tablet PC and it doesn't have an internal CD rom. I have an external floppy that works fine and I have a external USB CD ROM hooked up to it now also but don't how to get the CD ROM installed so I can install windows 98. I am just at the dos prompt with a boot disk. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Does the windows 98 boot disk not recognise the cd rom on boot up when option one (boot with cd rom support) is selected ?

Yeah. Check your BIOS and go to boot options (or whatever it is called). Find the "boot order" and move the CD-ROM higher up on the list. Since it's USB, maybe there will be an option to boot from an "external device" or somesuch. Maybe it's impossible to boot from a USB CD-ROM. --
