Hope I can give all the right info :-/
HP Pavillion 4443,
Win 98 4.10.1998,
upgraded using oem cd,
authenticAMD AMD-K6(tm) 3D proccessor Intel MMX (TM),
60MB Ram,
Got the comp from a friend who didn't want to bother with it.  No CD, No bootdisk.  Just as is.  booted it up and this is what I got.
Got the HP screen, the win 98 screen and jump into DOS (C:\WINDOWS) and thats it.   I can start it in safe mode, cleaned out all the unneccessary stuff, old prgrams and such.  But I can't make a bootdisk in safe mode.  I do have a win 98 CD from an old HP Pavillion I had before.  I did install it.  Still the same results (jumps back into DOS).  
checked Bios , they look OK.  When I goto the sites for bootdisk I not sure which one to use.  I don't what to format without all my safety NETS.  Any and all info you can give I would be very grateful.
Thank You

Download [highlight]this archive[/highlight], extract it to a folder and run the resultant self extracting diskette image, bootdisk.exe, with a diskette in the floppy drive. It will CREATE a Win98 TYPE bootdisk with real mode CD and mouse divers plus a few other tools.
Your first CD drive will be loaded at v:.got to V:\>setup /ie /im /is /nr and enter.  It started OK then in win98 setup recieved error - MESSAGE SU995035 , AN INVALID COMMAND OPTION WAS SPECIFIED.  CHECK THE COMMAND LINE AND TRY AGAIN, OR TYPE SETUP/? FOR HELP ON THE SETUP COMMAND OPTIONS. (0X13ab).
Thank youSo  you don't have a Windows CD, just a restore DISK for another model?

That will never work.  Yes, I have a win98 CD from an old HP I had.  I needed the bootdisk.  Backdate gave me the right info.  Just when I got to the part at V:\ setup....... that was one command prompt that created a error, which i fixed by searching the CD and put in SETUP.EXE.  instead Allll fixed. windows up and running.  ;DThank YOU BackdateWhen installing Windows and many other programs etc, the focus must be set to the installer location (Or a path statement issued perhaps).
As you found out, the correct syntax is:
v:
setup /blah
