Just to tell you all, I have used the burned isos on other systems, so
I am burning the CD's right.

Iam booting from CD(using the bios option). The only thing I can think
of is the battery. I currently do not have the CMOS battery on my
motherboard. I have yet to replace it. But I don't think that has
anything to do with my problem, since the windows 98 CD booted fine.
