Please don't use all caps. Unless your terminal is an old Teletype machine, which only has caps.
For Windows, the hard drive must be set as a MSDOS type. In most cases that detail can be ignored.
For the early Windows systems, avoid installing in RAID or on SATA or SCSI.
Windows 95 or Windows 98 can be installed with a floppy disk and  the CD.
Windows 2000 is a bookable CD and you have to press a key when the CD starts.

Abbot Windows ME.

Windows 95 you will need the correct Bootdisk (http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm). Now some Win98SE CDs are bootable both of mine are if not get the correct Win98 boot disk of the above site. The Win98 bootdisk will work on Win95.

Win2k CDs are bootable so you need to check the BIOS that it will bootup from the CD-ROM first, insert the CD and start it up. With Win9x you need to check it boots up from the floppy drive first in the BIOS.

Now I have my own compiled boot disk which I have Format.com on it so when it boots up just type Format C: or what ever the drive letter is, they maybe on the above bootdisks. Then go back to the CD drive and type Setup to install.

All genuine full-version Windows 98SE CDs were bootable. Only the original Windows 98 (not SE) CDs were not.
