You must erase the partitions to do such a downgrade.
Use FDISK to delete the partitions on the hard drive and then install 98 as
you have in the past.

Please try to reply to the thread instead of making a New Post. It is very
difficult not to have the previous posts. If you downloaded the boot floppy
from Bootdisk.com, then you do not copy the file you run the file by
double-clicking on the bootdisk icon and a program will run that creates the
boot disk.

I just said, if you downloaded the bootdisk file you probably have to
doubleclick on it to run a program that will create the boot floppy in A:
Just copying such a file to the floppy will not create a boot floppy.

The diskette images obtained from www.bootdisk.com have to be run from the
hard drive, having inserted a blank, formatted floppy diskette into the A
drive..

This is a link for using FDISK to delete and create partitions on a hard
drive.. if you do not understand any of it, you will need the help of a
local computer technician to get you through this stage..
