[computer_hopeless2]

ok....well first...the computer i have working right now...does NOT have a floppy drive, can i burn images to cd and use that as a boot disc?  if not im screwed...lol

So you never did use the boot disk, and the Caldera message was from Partition Magic. Shame on you!   Info like that can be helpful ("I don't have a floppy drive").

If you are making a CD from a computer running Windows 98SE and have Nero:

If you scroll down the left hand side of the first pane in Nero, below Data CD, Music CD etc is a bootable option.
Nero will ask you for a image source. You can make this by using the 'sys' command on a floppy disk. Alternatively you could try using a traditional startup disk, but I'm not sure which files it copies. I can't see any need to have the 'boot with CDROM support' option.

Don't forget to put other useful files in the root directory such as fdisk, format and scandisk.

ok, so i tried it, and that same stupid page came up about dr dos 7.3 with the command prompt A:> so im not doing something correctly obviously, but what im unsure of!   And what do they mean by copying file folder from existing windows cd i386...where would i find that folder?  I do not have a windows cd, as it was downloaded with the computer when i bought it....

The i386 folder in only on NT systems including Windows 2000 and windows XP, not on WIndows98. Itt contains all of the files to install those operating systems.

Are you trying to boot with the Partition Magic CD in the drive?

[computer_hopeless2]

no, there is nothing in the drive except whatever it is ive downloaded from those sites you gave me.....

what twas the secret to your success? We are always curious how things turned out.

Can you post the computer or motherboard make and model? Then we can get the driver to make the network card (and probably other things) work.
