Is this true?

Hello,
Question is this that is this solution right?
There is a fresh hdd , no cd rom , no floppy drive, no flash and network boot in pc. i want to install win98 . someone told me that take out ur hdd from laptop and connect with desktop through USB-IDE cable and then copy win98 setup in one of drive and copy dos files also in one of the drive and then put ur hdd back into ur laptop. there will be command prompt startup option , so you can now run win 98 setup from command prompt.
