wont boot Win98 in cdrom drive

[groupposter]

Hi,

I am trying to reinstall windows 98 with a harddisk that was from another
pc.It already has win98 on it. It wont detect my usb mouse and it also wont
boot from the cdrom although i have made sure to select the boot sequence as
cdrom,A,C in the bios settings.
I havent used win98 for a long time and i cannot remember if it will
automatically detect a usb mouse,will it ??? or is a simple reinstall needed
before the usb mouse will work ??? but it wont boot the win98 cd ...........

1) how to make it boot from cdrom - boot sequence already set as cdrom,A,C
2) old install of win98 from another pc on the hdd at moment

can anyone help ?
TIA

If it's a Windows 98 Upgrade disk, it's not bootable.
