[ILUG] WAY O/T: Extracting a boot disk image from Windows98SE CD?

[John Gay]

I realise this is way off topic, but I'm stuck.

I've got a Windows98SE CD and I need to install it on an old PC I've got for 
a friend. Unfortunately, the PC can not boot from the CD. I know there has to 
be a boot disk image on the CD somewhere to conform to the eltorito specs, 
but I can not seem to find it. Of course M$ would not make it easy.

Does anyone know where this boot disk image is stored so I can copy it to a 
boot floppy?

The only other option is to put the hard drive into a PC that CAN boot from 
CD, install Windows ontl the hard drive, then put hte hard drive into hte 
other PC, but I don't have a spare PC that CAN boot from CD. Also, since the 
install will be on different hardware, I'll still need to let Windows figure 
out that the hardware has changed and hope it can update itself properly. YEA 
Right.

Thanks for any help and sorry for such an off-topic post.

Cheers,
