Assuming your system can boot from the cd drive, try booting from the Linux cd. The installation will then begin automatically.

Whilst installing Mandrake from a CDROM the machine crashed, at the config X Windows stage (the long list of video cards). One result is that 'startx' doesn't work , server error no. 2.
I posted a couple of weeks ago on this topic. Thanks to those whose responded. I have since tried installing the various XFree86 packages, but with no success.
My idea now is simply to reinstall the entire OS from the CD, but I no longer have Win 98, so could someone tell me what command to use to start the install again?
Again, I am new to Linux, so please excuse my sounding clueless.....
