Sounds like you may have problems with the DOS drivers
you set up to access your CD-ROM drive in DOS. How
did you go about that? What drivers from where?
Which CD-ROM drive? What do the autoexec.bat and
config.sys files look like?
There's always the laplink cable connection to any
other system David suggested for getting the files in
\Win98 from the OS CD to your new HDD.
