Do what it says. Put the Win 98 CD in your CD-ROM drive, hold the Ctrl key while booting up to get to the menu, boot to DOS, and run /Setup:
C:\>D:\setup
Where D: is your CD-ROM drive letter.
Install in the C:/windows directory even if Windows advises installing it elsewhere; on top of the previous install.
If the CD-ROM drive doesn't work...
C:\edit autoexec.bat
Remove the rem in front of the line with mscdex.exe in it.
Repeat.
If you can't get to the DOS prompt you will need to use/make a startup floppy (http://duxcw.com/digest/Fromshop/software/windows/startup/startup.htm) with driver that will work with your CD-ROM drive.
Or, your computer may be able to boot directly to the CD-ROM, fro which you can run setup. Go into the CMOS Setup and see if the option is available, usually in the BIOS setup.

Arhter, I forgot to mention, when booting to the CD-ROM drive, the CD-ROM drive becomes the A: drive. Just type setup;
A:\>setup
