Can't you change your BIOS settings to boot from CD? The Windows 98 install disc is also a boot disc.

Normally when you power on a PC it says something like 'press DEL for setup'. Push whatever button it suggests and you'll get into the BIOS settings menu. There will be something there in one of the menus that gives the boot sequence, usually something like "Floppy, HD" or "A:, C:". Tweak that setting and you'll probably be able to get it to boot from CD.

Disclaimer: you can seriously mess up your computer by tweaking BIOS settings that you don't understand. Do it at your own risk blah blah...
