If you have an original disc, then there should be no problem booting from it once you change the boot order in the BIOS. Often when people make copies of these discs they just copy the files instead of making a direct copy, and then you loose the bootable part of the cd.

I tried booting the laptop from all the disks i mentioned. The only disk that worked was the WIN xp disk. And your wrong, The WIN 98 SE disk i have is not a bootable copy, Neither is the WIN NT, ME, or 95. And none of them are copies.
