6. Boot from the Win98SE CD if you want to reinstall....
or boot off a floppy and then copy over the cab files. This is
why you want to have at least 2 partitions on the HD.

3. it has been a while
but I think in the boot process of safe mode you can choose to selectively allow certain devices to load...I think you hit F8 during the boot, but like I said, it HAS been a while.

Good Luck,

4. That is roughly correct
I had to do same a few months ago. Fiddle with the F8 during start up then change boot order. good luck.
