Hello saviors,

My computer is going through a reboot loop and when I use safe mode or anything else, it doesn't work.
Windows XP is installed on it, but I can't find the CD, so I'm using the older Windows 98 that I could find.
When I tell my computer to boot from CD, it begins to then asks me for a command that I have idea how to give.
Please help me!!! :O
