Once you get your product key from what JmC gave you it would be a good idea to create
an emergency boot disk for the new drive after you get it in up and humming--control
panel, add/remove programs, start up disk tab at the top--make sure you add the little
batch file that is also in the info JmC gave you and add it to the emergency boot
disk that you made for the new drive--then if you can't get back into windows 98
again you can always get your Product Key after you boot with the disk you made
and type in word--Key--at the A:\> prompt...
