I know it will fix the problem (sorta), as I've done it once before.  Go to
www.bootdisk.com, download a Windows'98 boot disk, you'll need it in A: when
you tell your burner software to make it bootable.  Another option is find
someone with MagicISO or ISOBuster, etc.  and have them send you the boot
sector for the cd-rom, then modify the boot sector on yours, or just have them
send you the entire cd-rom as an ISO image....  Either way works, and you won't
notice a difference on Windows'98, but technically, I think the original used a
slightly different method than the boot disk emulation....  Though I could be
wrong.... Been a while since I saw the boot sector of '98
