 If you have an OEM Windows 98fe, Windows 98se, Windows 95 CD you can extract the Installation Wizard from it. 

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Open up a MS-DOS Prompt / Command Prompt 

 Change to your CD-ROM Drive Letter. Example if yout CD-ROM is drive letter is D: type: 

 D: 

 Press the key.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 Next, you will need to change to the proper directory on the CD. Type: 
 CD\TOOLS\ADMIN 
 Press the key. 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 Type in the command to extract the wizard using the following format:
 mkcwrt /C:"command.com /C mkcwrt.bat {CD-ROM drive letter} {drive/path}" 

 Example: 
If your CD-ROM drive letter is D: and you would like to extract the wizard to C:\wizard you would us the following command: 

 mkcwrt /C:"command.com /C mkcwrt.bat D: C:\wizard" 

 This will launch a second command prompt that extracts the wizard from the CD. It may take several minutes to complete depending on the speed of your CD-ROM.
