Win 98 Setup Boot Crash

After installing Win 98 on a new HD, when it reboots for the 1st time and should initialize files, my system freezes. Safe mode only produces a frozen screen. Are there files that can be copied from another functioning system that could kick-start this one into booting up properly. Any other suggestions welcome.

Have you tried copying the files from the CD to your hard disk, and installing from there?

Space-permitting, this has the added benefit of always having the files nearby for upgrades.
