Or what exactly do you see when you switch to the PC mode? Most simply, what you'll need is a boot disk with CD ROM drivers and the Win98 CD. Boot off the floppy, stick in the Win98 CD, switch to the CD ROM drive (probably going to be d), then type setup and it's off and running. Naturally you'll also need to create a hard disk file, which should also be in that control panel somewhere. Regards, hope this helps!
