Many many thanx to all of you for your nice help.

If msbatch.inf is in the same folder of SETUP.EXE, you don't have to mention it on the command line.
This is my command line: SETUP.EXE /ie /is /nf /nm /nr
WIN98SE Setup Options: SETUP [batch] [/ie] [/im] [/is] [/iv] [/nr] [/T:tmpdir]
batch Specifies the name and location of the file that contains the Setup options.
/ie Skip the Startup Disk screen.
/im Skip the check for low conventional memory.
/is Do not run ScanDisk.
/iv Do not display billboards.
/nr Skips the registry check.
/T:tmpdir Specifies the directory where Setup is to copy its temporary files.
This directory must already exist, but any existing files in the directory
will be deleted.
Thank you very much for your nice help.

OK fair enough I see that your problem is more generic than just this project ... i will try to help!
OK, first the easy solution: a lot of people forget that you have to FORMAT your hard drive before you can properly use a Win98 boot CD. This isn't a problem with a WinXP one but it will give you the error that you can't write to the partition. I know that some people forget and then wonder why things don't work. But maybe you know this and the problem is something else.
If the above isn't the problem, please reply to the following questions:
1) Can you get to a DOS prompt at any stage during operation but before the problem occurs?
2) If you can, what has been assigned to the C drive? Is it blank (ie recently formatted), or does it report the CD drive contents. What is assigned to the A drive? (the boot files inside your Win98 boot image should be all there when you type DIR at the A:\ prompt.) Can you type DIR and report what it says?
Next, make sure you are using a proper Win98 boot image -- I remember that I had trouble with the one I made from my Retail edition CD and had to download someone elses from the net. Make sure that your Win98 setup can be installed separate from the multi-boot CD, even if you can't test unattendedly. If this is the problem, I have a boot image that will work with CD shell ...
Next, if you have two CD drives connected, disconnect one of them and see if you get the same error.
Next, confirm your setup files aren't corrupted. I don't think this is the problem, but if it none of the above, i'm starting to run out of ideas so you may as well check.
See how you go with all that.
All what I did is:
I copied the '@msbatch.inf' to the Win98 folder then tried to install Windows 98se in Virual Machine (VMware Workstation) using the command line in the autoexec.bat: path=a:\;%CDROM%\
%CDROM%
cd \WIN98
setup.exe @msbatch.inf
It started copying all neccessary files to the disk. Hereafter, it restarted the computer automatically.
Now it displays the following on Dump screen:
" Cannot read or write to Partition C: press any key to continue "
When I press any key I have this message:
" Cannot load or read KRNL386.exe"

I want to create theme for WinRar. For it, I followed every bit of instruction posted in the web site '
http://www.rarlab.com/themes_new.txt' with a topic "How to create WinRAR theme file" as following:
How to create WinRAR theme file
1. Introduction
Theme file is RAR archive containing an alternative set of graphics
and winrar_theme_description.txt file.
2. Name format
Theme file must have .theme.rar extension, so its name format is:
basename.anytext.theme.rar
WinRAR creates a folder for theme graphics using 'basename' name part,
so you need to select something sensible and unique as basename
to avoid overwriting already installed themes. 'Anytext' part is optional
and ignored by WinRAR. You may use it, for example, to include the version
information. Here are a couple of possible theme file names:
Snow.ver21.theme.rar - it will be installed to 'Themes\Snow' folder
Marine.theme.rar - it will be installed to 'Themes\Marine' folder
3. winrar_theme_description.txt file
Theme file must contain winrar_theme_description.txt file in
the root folder. It is a plain text ASCII file containing
the following commands:
a) 'title' command
Format:
title=<theme title>
where <theme title> is a text string displayed as a theme name
in the "Options/Themes" menu. If you provide several themes
with different toolbar sizes, it may be a good idea to include
the toolbar size into the title text.
Examples:
title=Snow 32x32
title=Snow 48x48
title=Marine
b) 'about' command
Format:
about=<theme description>
where <theme description> is information to display in WinRAR "About"
dialog. For example, it can be a copyright string or theme author name.
You can use '\n' characters to split the theme description to two lines
in the desired position. Do not use more than one '\n', because "About"
dialog has enough space only for two description strings. Also do not use
too long string, otherwise it will not fit into the dialog.
Examples:
about=Marine by Peter
about=© 2004 AlexDesignStudio.\nwww.AlexDesignStudio.com.
c) 'background' command
Default color to define transparent areas in toolbar bitmaps is black,
but if you wish to use the white color for this purpose, you can add:
background=255
command to winrar_theme_description.txt. Note that background color
is important even if your bitmaps are 32 bit and have the alpha channel.
Not all Windows versions and display color modes support 32-bit bitmaps,
so in some situations (for example, in Windows 98) WinRAR must treat them
just like usual 24-bit bitmaps.
4. Graphics files
Theme file should contain the following graphics files.
In the root archive folder:
AboutLogo.bmp - 261x49 logo in "About" dialog
DiskOff.ico - 16x16 "inactive disk" icon in the status bar
DiskOn.ico - 16x16 "active disk" icon in the status bar
DragCopy.cur - 32x32 "copy files" cursor for drag and drop
DragMove.cur - 32x32 "move files" cursor for drag and drop
DragNo.cur - 32x32 "drop prohibited" cursor for drag and drop
Estimate.bmp - 48x48 "estimate compression" image for file "Info" dialog
File.ico - 16x16 "unknown file type" icon
FolderUp.bmp - 16x16 "go one folder up" toolbar button
PasswordOff.ico - 16x16 "inactive password" icon in the status bar
PasswordOn.ico - 16x16 "active password" icon in the status bar
RAR.ico - 16x16,32x32,48x48 general RAR icon
RarSmall.bmp - 13x13 image of RAR icon for shell extension menu
REV.ico - 16x16,32x32 recovery volumes icon
Setup.ico - 16x16 setup icon for "Add and remove programs" list
SFX.ico - 16x16,32x32 or larger SFX module icon (see notes below)
SFXLogo.bmp - 93x302 SFX module logo
SortDown.bmp - 13x13 "sort down" file list column header image
SortUp.bmp - 13x13 "sort up" file list column header image
Tray.ico - 16x16 "WinRAR in the background" tray icon (16 colors only)
WizardLogo.bmp - 64x64 logo for Wizard dialogs
In the 'Toolbar' folder:
Add.bmp - "Add" toolbar button
Benchmark.bmp - "Benchmark" toolbar button
Comment.bmp - "Comment" toolbar button
Convert.bmp - "Convert" toolbar button
Delete.bmp - "Delete" toolbar button
Exit.bmp - "Exit" toolbar button
Extract.bmp - "Extract" toolbar button
ExtractTo.bmp - "Extract To" toolbar button
Find.bmp - "Find" toolbar button
Info.bmp - "Info" toolbar button
Lock.bmp - "Lock" toolbar button
Print.bmp - "Print" toolbar button
Protect.bmp - "Protect" toolbar button
Repair.bmp - "Repair" toolbar button
Report.bmp - "Report" toolbar button
SFX.bmp - "SFX" toolbar button
Test.bmp - "Test" toolbar button
View.bmp - "View" toolbar button
VirusScan.bmp - "VirusScan" toolbar button
Wizard.bmp - "Wizard" toolbar button
Notes:
a) Though it is better to keep original sizes, the size of many bitmaps
can be slightly changed without hurting WinRAR look. You can check
the outcome of such change experimentally if necessary.
b) You can use any reasonable size for toolbar buttons. WinRAR will detect
it automatically.
c) You can use both 24-bit and 32-bit bitmaps with alpha channel for toolbar
buttons and for FolderUp button. In case of 24-bit bitmaps use
the black color to define transparent areas.
d) One theme file can include only one set of toolbar buttons. If you wish
to provide themes with buttons of different size, create several
theme files.
e) Use gray RGB(192,192,192) color in SortUp.bmp and SortDown.bmp
to define transparent areas.
f) Color depth is not limited for most icons except Tray.ico, which must be
16 colors. WinRAR uses Tray.ico only for those Windows versions,
where a usual 256 color icon is not displayed well.
If you wish to create Win9x compatible SFX.ico, it must be 16x16,32x32,
16 or 256 color only. Other sizes and color depths are allowed if you
do not care about Win9x and need only Win NT/2000/XP/2003 compatibility.
In the latter case SFX.ico will be ignored under Win9x.
g) It is allowed to omit most of graphics files. In this case WinRAR
will use the default graphics instead. The only exception is Add.bmp
file. WinRAR uses it to detect toolbar button dimensions, so it must be
present.
5. Contacts
Please send your questions and theme files to dev@rarxlab.com
(Please remove x from the middle of 'rarxlab'. Sorry, spam protection).
If your theme is based on someone's else graphics, we need to have
a permission of original graphics copyright owner to use icons
in WinRAR theme. Please send to us a copy of such permission by email.I compiled my files to .rar with a name "lyria_48x48.theme.rar". As I click on it for installation, it doesn't ask for approval to install as does the file "RARaddin_64x64.theme.rar" provided in the web site 'http://www.rarlab.com/themes.htm'.
Where am I in mistake? Guide me please.

Also disable Automatic restart so that the PC is forced to blue screen, may give you and us some more information to work on.
Also load fail safe defaults in the bios, or it is sometimes refered to as Optimsed Defaults.
Thank you a lot.

I don't know if it is possible to create an Unattended Windows98 setup disk.
Help me please, if it is possible.

Yes it is possible but you may want to look here at UnattendXP by MaxXPsoft it will do most of the work for you it comes with a data file with lots of application switches.

Thank you very much for your help.
I do know very well about creating an Unattended WindowsXP setup disk.
The main thing I wanted to know is if there is any way to create a setup disk which can install many apps one after another inputting their serial numbers automatically. So that the user has nothing to do during setup, just sit and watch or do other works.

Overheating. Heatsink not in good contact with the CPU.
Get some thermal compound and apply a thin layer, and also make sure the heatsink is seated squarely on the CPU top.
Thanks a lot to all of you.
What is this 'thermal compound' stuff to apply? Guide me please.
My PC configuration:
CPU: Intel Pentium IV 2.8 ghz
Mainboard: Intel 865 gbf

Hi
I am really tired of finding out actually what's the problem with my PC.
My computer runs smoothly. After a few days or hours, it freezes or restarts automatically.
Once the problem occured, it never starts again.
To start it, I just open the CPU fan, pull out the CPU and place all of them in their former position.
I Restart the computer and lol........ it starts working in a normal way.
It goes for about a few hours or days, and the same problem again.
How long should I go on doing all this? Help me, please.
