It's very easy and the OS doesn't matter.

-Do a clean install of your OS (and drivers and maybe a few small apps)
-Use any cloning utility such as norton ghost (some motherboards come with a version of it bundled...) and make an image of it
-Make a win98se boot floppy, which will have mscdex on it, have it look thru the drives for ghost.exe (or whatever app you're using) and launch it with the proper command line to restore your disk
-burn a bootable cd with floppy emulation and ghost + image on the CD. Let it copy the floppy itself or floppy image (winimage is a great app to play around with floppy images)

The whole restore process should be something like 3 minutes or so. Works great.

That will only work for sure if you use it on the same MoBo and chipset. You have about a 50% chance of it working if you create the image on one and then try to use it on another. At least that has been my experience with Win98, 2K and XP are more forgiving. :yes:
