I was so excited, BUT it asked for the win 98 cd (which I don't have) to 
get some files, I found some of the files on the hard drive, but a few 
were missing. Then when it ran away to create the boot disk, it would 
die at about 70% of the way through- I am guessing it was due to some 
files being missing. Looks like I'm on the hunt for a win 98 cd now...
