hello
do you have a cd burner on the pc downloaded to
if you do extract it to a folder more then likely it is an image file
you can burn an image file to a cd and it will make an exact copy of the win 98 cd
do you have a cd key ? , maybe there is one in a folder of file one the image file is on the cd.
when you burn the image file YOU NEED TO BURN IT "AS AN IMAGE FILE" ( if it is an image file, like xxxx.iso ) NOT JUST COPY THE FILE TO A CD.
What cd burning program to you have ?

NERO is an excellent program

what you need to do is create an iso file, one big file with all the files and folders that were unpacked, it may not work, since it is in the state it is it may not have the boot image.
the easiest way is to open winiso, then open windows explorer, then if windows explorer opens where it takes up the whole desktop, click on the double squares between the minus sign and the X in top right, this will reduce window expl enogh to be able to drag the right corner and make windows expr small and sid eby side with winiso. I think what I woud do is click on the folder where the files are and in the right pane, highlight all then drag into WINISO, or copy and paste. Then create the iso. Put a cd in the tray, open nero, depending on ver close the pop up that asks what you want to do. click on recorder, then in the drop down box select "burn image file" point nero to your iso file
you have to burn it theway if you just copy to the cd it will not work. to test leave in the cd tray, reboot, set your bios to boot from a cd drive, save cmos ...the cd should boot...if it doesn't no big deal
