Win98 Boot disk?
I had to get a new hardrive for my Dell Lattitude LM but I can't find a windows 98 boot disk that will work. Do I need something special for this model? Does anyone know where to get a boot disk that will work?
Thanks!

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.
