Systems Win98 HELP! text missing on re instalation

Ok i think my hardrive is dieing now,
i formatted the pc which is windows 98
then i left it a night, now i start it up and it asks for a system disk so i put in the only boot disk i have and it says 'starting windows 98'
and then i choose with cd rom support
but then it asks for 'windows 98 startup disk 2'
ive never had a disk 2 and ive tryed the ones at bootdisk.com and had no luck.

When you installed Win98, did you have all your hardware loaded?

Try installing once again with bare bones.
Mobo
RAM
CPU
HDD
FDD
CD-ROM
Video Card

After you have successfully installed the O/S, start adding hardware one piece at a time.

Here's a page to browse that might give you some insight.

Cheers!
