Are you sure you set the jumpers right on your new drive?

>If i understand you correctly,you replaced your hard
drive,and now you need to install Windows,but you're
getting a message that your cd-rom is not
found,correct?.If so,and you don't have your cd-rom boot
disk which you will need to partition your drive,format it
and load your cd-rom driver,go to the site bootdisk.com
and download the appropriate setup file for Win98.If the
drive you put in was an additional drive,make sure it's
jumpers are set correctly and that they are in a
master/slave setup on the Primary IDE channel.
