The folder DOS98BOOTCD is contained in a CD image file named DOS98BOOTCD.ISO. Its size is about 2.3 MB.
NOTE: TO MAKE A BOOTABLE CD FROM THIS IMAGE FILE YOU MUST HAVE ONE-TIME ACCESS TO A CD BURNER WITH SOFTWARE THAT CAN BURN A CD IMAGE. THAT IS NOT THE SAME AS SIMPLY COPYING A FILE TO A CD WITH THE BURN BAR IN VISTA. YOU MUST HAVE A NON-MICROSOFT BURNER PROGRAM SUCH AS NERO OR ROXIO TO MAKE A BOOTABLE CD. IN SOME VERSIONS OF VISTA YOU CAN FIND THE ROXIO PROGRAM WHICH HAS THE NEEDED CAPABILITY.

before proceeding further for reference during the operations
following downloading.
SETUP
When download is completed you're ready to make a bootable CD.
That will require that you use a CD burning program. The one
that is integrated into Windows Vista will refuse to burn the
image of a BOOTABLE CD. Those by Nero and Roxio and perhaps
others WILL do so. Roxio is included as separate program in some
versions of Vista.
1- Get to your desktop initial screen.
2- Left click MY COMPUTER
3- Left click "C: You should be able to see the file
DOS98BOOTCD.ISO or DOS98BOOTCD in the listing. The extension
may not be visible unless you have set your Windows program
to show filename extensions. If you cannot find one of these
filenames then you may not have changed the download box to
read "C:" in download step 4. In that case, see "If you cannot
find DOS98BOOTCD.ISO on your hard drive" below. You MUST find
it to proceed.
4- Use your CD burning program to burn a CD from the image file
DOS98BOOTCD.ISO. Remember you MUST use the option to "Burn an image to
disk" NOT simply to copy a file to disk.
5- When the disk has been burned you should read the additional
instructions included on the disk itself. To do so double-click on the
name of the disk after it is detected in its drive. Then double-click
on the file AUTOEXEC.BAT. In the menu that appears press 2 to read
instructions.
IF YOU CANNOT FIND DOS98BOOTCD.ISO ON YOUR HARD DRIVE - Use the
Windows SEARCH program. Left click on START. Left click on
SEARCH. Type "DOS98BOOTCD.ISO" in the popup window and
follow directions to complete the search. Another window should
pop up showing what folder contains "DOS98BOOTCD.ISO". Then go to
that folder and copy "DOS98BOOTCD.ISO" into C:
