Exclamation Have only installed Red hat 9 but need now Windows 98SE for education


Hello,

I have installed Red hat 9 on my computer. I have a swap partition and on the other space of the hard disk i have installed Red hat.
Now is the problem that i need Windows for my education. I have a Windows 98SE cd-rom, and i have saved all my files on a CD (the documents that i need ). So i want to delete everything on my hard disk and then put windows on it.
I know that it is maybe possible to use fdisk...but i don't know how to use it. And i have no ms dos anymore on my PC. I can access ms-dos with a booteble disk but i can"t create one...
Who knows how i can do it? Please so many steps as possible; i don't know that much about it...

Thx anyway
Kristof

The cd of Windows SE was bootable when i used windows. But when i use them know i got booting from cd-rom and disk. So i chose cd-rom and after a long time waiting i came back to the menu where i can choose (disk of cd-rom booting). So i don't think that it is possible with het cd ?
So can i make my cd bootable? maybe with a sort of diskette? of opendos or something like that?
