Hi,

If you go to the product suppot tab above, you can find directions. As you dont mention the model I will use general terms. Put the CD drive in the media bay, connect the floppy to the printer port wth the special cable. Load the CD drivers, ( they wont load without the CD being there ) when loaded switch to the CD ( in DOS ) and you can start the load. Some models ( all the later ) will let you select the CD as a boot device, as you are using 98, I am assuming we are talking about an early model.
