Do you have the full version of 98SE or the upgrade?
the disk came with the computer. It doesn't say upgrade on it, but I have been told it must be an upgrade disk or I would not get this message.

What is the part number listed on the disk?
the # is 0499 part no.x0479934
try to boot from the cd itself and run setup from there
The part # you have is the Windows 98SE Upgrade, from 3.1 and 95.
