Look to me that it's the right archive, and you DO have "DSKWRITE.EXE"

So i did!

It gave me the A:\ command
I have type C:\ then enter, then D:\ then enter and it dose not work!

What does that mean? What message is it giving you?

I just reboot it and tried again
At the A:\ command. I type C:\ or E:\ then enter and it says "invalid drive specification"
However I type D:\ then enter key and it changes from A:\ to D:\

It is almost as it will not except any other drive to install from the the D drive

So I have now managed to get my D drive working and get my win98 insulation disk in it. Boot the A drive and this time it has automaticlly gone into win98 insulation

However now it is saying that a non MS-DOS partition is using your entire hard drive and that the entire disk has to be formatted to install win98 (utter ridicules!). There are several partitions on this HDD several of them linux distros and the winxp that I am using now. which must be an ms-dos partition (again utter redicules!)

Not 'redicules' at all. Linux uses non-MS-DOS filesystems usually. And Windows NT (3.1, 4.0, 2000, XP and newer) all use NTFS, which are all non-MS-DOS filesystems. The only filesystems Windows 9x and MS-DOS recognise is FAT (FAT16 or FAT32 on hard drives). So all it sees is that the partitions on the hard drive are using non-FAT filesystems, thus non-MS-DOS (MS-DOS and Windows 9x don't recognise other filesystems at all). That's why it won't show up as C:\ or any other MS-DOS or 9x drive. Never did and never will (unless you use specific filesystem drivers, which some people have made (unstable though for NTFS or read-only access only). All those operating systems see is a disk with some unknown partition types (it only recognises FAT16 and FAT32 on hard drive partitions. Also only MBR-based (non-MBR won't work at all, so forget about GPT).
Also insulation? Don't you mean installation?
