Remember there were five different releases (that i know of, maybe more)
win98 full, win98 upgrade, win98se full, win98se upgrade, and win98se
update. Some were bootable, some were not; some releases had a version
of both.
OP:
Try another bootable cd in the drive.
-also-
Try your cd in another computer, known to boot from cd.
