win98 re-install

[zune_dogg88]

i just found out that its possible 2 dual boot a pc. i already installed ubuntu, how do i put win98 back in if my cd drive says unable to mount?? my pc boots cdrom 1st but it still loads ubuntu...i want windows cause i eventually want xp so i can use my zune. windows is also easier to accept hardware,,my cdrom & usb's worked fine, but wen i partitioned & installed linux, it cant find my dvdrom, i cant install the software for my wifi usb stick that's linux compatible;therefore not detecting my wireless di-624 by dlink..

ok when the cd for widows 98 starts up it says:

Microsoft Windows 98 CD-ROM Startup Menu
______________________________________
______________________________________

1. Boot from Hard Disk
2. Boot from CD-ROM

Enter a choice: _ "

pick 2

and then on the second menu it says:

"Microsoft Windows 98 Startup Menu
_______________________________
_______________________________

1. Start Windows 98 Setup from CD-ROM.
2. Start computer with CD-ROM support.
3. Start computer without CD-ROM support.

Enter a choice: _"

enter 1

this should get you to setup
if you have any other problems post them i'm some what of a windows 98 expert
i hope this helps

P.s. You should partition your drive before you start the windows 98 disk cant partition it.

how do i partition??

its a little tricky to setup dual boot when one installs Windows after Linux. Windows should be installed first.
you have fresh install of Ubuntu . i suggest you to delete Linux Partitions, install Windows, create free space and re-install Ubuntu. Ubuntu installer will setup dual boot itself.

For working with or deleting partitions, I recommend the Gparted LiveCD:

GParted -- LiveCD

It's a small download/burn, it's easy to use, and there is very good documentation on their website.
