Rescue Disk

To create a startup disk
Open the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box at the Startup Disk tab.
Click Create Disk.
Follow the instructions on your screen.
Notes
You can also open the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box at the Startup Disk tab by clicking Start, pointing to Settings, clicking Control Panel, double-clicking Add/Remove Programs, and then clicking the Startup Disk tab.
To make a startup disk, you will need one floppy disk with at least 1.2 MB capacity.
When you insert the startup disk in your computer before restarting, the computer starts from that disk, not from your hard drive.
Open the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box at the Startup Disk tab.

That's a startup disk, I wonder if what drkestrel meant was burning a CD with crucial system files on it, for replacing a nuked windows installation. If so, I don't think 98 has this facility although there is software available to do just this. I'll see if I can dig up some names unless anyone else beats me to it. My suggestions are what I would try myself. If incorrect, I welcome corrections to my rather limited knowledge. Andy.
Either Cd or ZIP disk with zip disk drivers on floppy and a parallel port zip.
Alternate suggestion would be the install stuff on the zip where you could recreate the hard drive after a crash. The smallest 98 takes two zip disks. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.
Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.
