IBM 240 Hard Drive Boot Problem

I have an IBM 240, with no floppy drive or CD drive. It has a hard drive that does not have an operating system installed on it. I am trying to deploy an image of another Windows 98 machine to the laptop in order to give the hard drive something to boot off of. The only problem is that since there is no operating system installed, the machine does not recongize the fact that I am trying to deploy an image at bootup from my USB drive. I need to find a way to boot off this drive,without inserting it into another laptop. Help is greatly appreciated.

I think you have a Norton Ghost image. If you have copied your w98 install disk into a usb drive perhaps it will not work.

You could try this to boot from usb:

If you can install w98 with your image, no problem. If you can't, the best way is to copy all w98 install files into a folder in your usb drive and install from it.
