Just a point of conversation, heres what
I usually do...

Partition the disc into C / D

Copy all the files from the Windows CD in Win98
to a folder on D, say win98.src

Install Windows from there D:\win98.src\setup.exe

Now install the rest of your software and get the
install just the way you want it.

Now all you have to do is use Norton Ghost
(its frequently bundled with new motherboards)
to make an image of C onto D.

If anything goes wrong* in the future, Ghost the
image back onto C and 4 minutes later you have a
working system just the way you created it.

You might be able to use G4U for this tasks
also?

*Not in cases of HDD failure obviously, you
could burn the image onto a CD though ...
