Of course he's got a chance.
WIN98 or any other one, he can make a bootable CD or DVD with any OS.
He does not even have to make one, he can download it ready made from "somewhere"...
What you can also do ssttaagg, go to a friend or a relative who has a PC, take your windows CD, open a CD/DVD burning software, tell it to make a bootable CD out of your windows CD and that's it, you have a bootable windows CD.

has loads of original boot disks for Windows. However, it's probably easier to buy a set off ebay. Win95 and Win98 were all installable from CD so maybe it's 3.1 - but i'm not sure you'd get win32 error messages from that.
