i have an old windows 98 and everytime i turn it on it says disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter what do i do

Check the cable connections to the hdd and ide, re-plugging might cure the problem. If re-plugging does not work then start diagnosis by downloading a floppy bootdisk from bootdisk.com, reset Bios to boot from the floppy first, this will give you access to your pc.
Please post back with any displayed error messages.

You either have a bad hard drive, improper connections, a damaged master boot record, or no operating system installed.
What happened prior to this would be important. ;)

Note that the OP has started two threads on this issue.

One of them should probably be locked.
