Your disc has probably been scratched or has become dirty. Take a cloth (100% COTTON ONLY) and get it mildly wet with water, and wipe it down. Make sure you get it completely dry afterwards.

Then try again, if it fails, well then you've got one less 98 system in the house.

If that dosn't do it, put some toothpaste (works as a polish) on the wet cloth. rinse, dry.

.............. If the disk is damaged or scrached, you MUSD buy a CD repair kit to fix it.

This one's the best one.

Or you could try burning a copy. I've had cd's that were messed up pretty bad and burned a copy and the copy worked where the orginal cd didn't.

Unless the BOOT area of the CD is scratched ofcorse. I've tried the same thing with all my CDs and that didn't work vary well... Hmm. Just try burning them first. (If you have an RW.)

do you mean after it reboots the first time, give more details

itb starts the gui setup and starts copying files. it finishes and restarts as normal, take out the cd (normal) and it continues the setup from the files it copied (normal) then it had a bsod or a illegal operation and freezes (not normal)
