Okay...I don't know if anyone's suggested this, but I'd transfer the OS (dos) to the HD, as well as 98 setup files. Now I assume you have the boot floppy, and the letter is A:. In the command prompt, type in this:
A:\FORMAT C: <-Better have your HD wiped clean, that can make a difference
A:\SCANDISK C: /SURFACE <-Just to make sure that you don't have a faulty HD
A:\SYS C:
Now you should have the command promp installed to your computer, so you can boot without the floppy and/or CD. DON'T REBOOT YET!
Having done this, type in the following to copy the installation files from the CD to the HD:
md C:\WIN98
copy E:\WIN98\*.* C:\WIN98
Now you should have all the installation files stored in your hd. Now, remove all CDs and floppies that you can think of, and reboot. After rebooting, the command prompt should come up. Type in C:\WIN98\SETUP to run the setup off the HD, and it should be up and running, or up and freezing again...
