Ok, yes the floppy was wrong. I redid it and it is now at-
"starting windows 98...
Windows is bypassing your startup files.
A:\>" What do I type in here?

Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart
At the options screen, type 1 and press "Enter"
At the A:\ prompt, type e: and press "Enter"
At the E:\ prompt, type setup and press "Enter"
Setup should begin...keep me informed of your progress and any error messeges you receive.

Actually that was my mistak, rkats...sorry. I forgot that you had two hard drives...that moves everything up one letter. 
If it's asking for G: let's use it.
Abort (A press "Enter")
Which prompt does this leave you at?
