    I have inherated an old laptop with no OS and only one drive bay. How could I install an OS to this laptop. I've tried with Win98, but it can't boot from a cd. Can anyone help me?

    You can make a BootCD using Nero. After you boot up to the A: prompt, put in the Windows 98 CD and run setup.exe. Nero's Trial version is complete for the first 30 days. Good Luck.
