$ martovod, I put on the old laptop and on the old PC Windows 98 more than once. From scratch, te on pure hard.
First question for you:
What is bios and how to use it you know? Trite, you just need to check with what laptop you boot in the beginning (from hard, from SD, with something else). It is necessary that the load in the first place with CD! If there is no floppy disk drive in your old laptop, then it’s not that ancient either. And, in theory, it should contain in the BIOS the options for loading.
Second question:
A multiboot disk is a disk that is loaded even BEFORE loading Windows on a PC. If it is not written on it that it is multiboot, then again you can check it for multi-boot by inserting it into a drive on a PC (in the PC BIOS, check also what the computer loads at the beginning: from hard or from something else. In the first place put CD drive, then hard). Restart the computer without removing the disk from the 98 wines. If the Windows on the PC still boots, then the disk is not multiboot.
Then
from hereDownload dos live cd, download DOS from under it, and then change dos live cd to a disk with Windows 98 and run setup.exe from the command line
