You want to boot to DOS mode so that you can run ghost. If you are having a ghost floppy then what expertno1 is fine but if you run ghost from a cd then you have to get a windows98 bootable floppy or cd for the cdrom drivers to load.

i think the digit cds are bootable isn't it ?

or if not then you could try to make such a bootable cd by using nero or by using easy cd creator

they have the option to create bootable cds

Hi friends ,

If u like to use a MSDOS audio player on an old laptop
without screen! Don't worry use Ms Dos 6.22 Full Floppy set 1-4

Enjoy
