I don't know about laptops but you may need to change the floppy to first boot device.521

nanrector,
fredha is correct. The message you are receiving indicates that your system is attempting to boot from the hard drive, which has no operating system. Instructions for installing Windows 98 using the Dell Recovery CD are here. This document includes a link to instructions for setting your system to boot from the CD-ROM as first boot device.
