Thanks to PuterGeek he has Excellent tips and advice and how to create a boot disk and install 9X systems 
You can download the boot disk from PuterGeek
This is for Win 95 but also works for Win 98
Method 1

Method 1
With your computer turned off, insert the boot disk.
Turn on the computer.
When the computer's booted up do the following...
type FDISK /MBR hit enter
(this destroys the master boot record and re-creates it. You should not see anything on the screen.)
type FORMAT C: /U /S hit enter
(this will format your hard drive and "SYS" it. This means install the system files needed to boot up. When it's done you may enter a name for this drive if you wish.)
Reboot the computer with the boot disk.
Type C: hit enter
Type MD CABS hit enter
Type X: hit enter
(where "X" is the drive letter for your CD-ROM make sure your Win95 CD is in the CD-ROM drive!)
Type CD WIN95 hit enter ( or type CD Win98)
Type COPY *.* C:\CABS hit enter
(what you've done is, you've made a folder called "cabs" on your hard drive, then copied all the files needed from your Win95 CD-ROM to that folder. This way you will install from your hard drive. Then, in the future if Win95 needs any files, it will automatically get them from there. Also I've found that some people have a problem getting their CD-ROM to be recognized by Win95. If that were to happen during the Win95 installation, you wouldn't be able to finish the install. This method avoids this problem.)
Reboot the computer without the boot disk. NOTE: If you're using an upgrade CD to do the install, skip step 10, and start the install while you're booted off the bootdisk, this way you will have CD-ROM support when Windows wants proof. At that point simply put your Win9x CD in, point to it in the browser, then put your install CD back in. Remember to remove the boot disk before the next reboot!
Type CD CABS hit enter
Type SETUP hit enter
(here you go! just follow the on-screen instructions and (hopefully *grin*) you will successfully install Win95!)
Turn on the computer.
