Windows 98 boot disk files

Could anyone do me a favor and make a windows 98 boot disk, copy it to their hard drive, and make it into a zip file, then upload it so i can download it and burn it to a bootable cd?

I need to make a dual boot system (windows 98 and XP) I tried used the ultimate boot cd from ultimatebootcd.com but it didnt work, the version of dos on it was very shitty and gave me lots of problems with Fdisking and formatting my disks. Me love u long time :)

kiki, it asks for a floppy, i dont have a floppy drive because the port on my motherboard is broken. Its an exe program, if it was just the files or a burnable cd image i could do it

Fishy, no i have aim, but ill go download messager

Yeah windows 98 is old but i still love it. Dos is fun to mess with and some of the games i have only run in dos and id like to be able to play em.

I've got a dual boot system with win 98se and XP pro.

I forget I how I set it up, but I use it so I can "talk" to my win 3.11 machine, hehe.

I do remember I had to install 98 first.

Errr.. I don't see how my startup disk would help without a floppy drive unless you just need fdisk, etc. but don't those files already come on a win 98 cd?
