Still asking everyone for help, thanks in advance. - China DOS Union Forum

Someone said that after formatting drive C there is no DOS, but you can still get in with a boot disk. So I want to ask, would that be a Win98 boot disk, or a DOS boot disk? How do you make a DOS boot disk? If I install the system now, does that mean I can only use a CD? How do I install from a CD? But I still have the Win98 installation files stored on drive D. What I mean is, if I can get into DOS, then I won't need the CD, and I can install directly from the installation files on drive D. Could all of you please help me by answering these one by one? Thanks.

Use a Win98 boot disk to boot into DOS. If you want to install Win98, it's best to use the installation files on your drive D. That has two advantages: installation is fast, and it saves your CD-ROM drive from unnecessary wear and tear. After entering the Win98 installation folder on drive D, first run SMARTDRV (this helps speed up disk read/write), then run SETUP.
