Default Install program on laptop with Cd Drive???
Can i do this somehow by networking it to my normal computer???

the only other choice I have is to remove the hard drive and connect to my home computer...which i'd rather not do.......

Would networking be easy enough. the laptop has Win98se and my home computer Xp......

Networking would be the easiest way, but it's not easy to connect a 98se machine to an xp one.

A usb pendrive would be an option, providing you have drivers for it for windows 98.
