Go into the Bios and make sure the virus warning is disabled. Also since you are in there turn off any Power Management for the bios let Windows handle that. Save and Exit. Maybe find a Windows 98 bootdisk instead of the Me one. I read somewhere, here it is, not the same message you're getting but worth looking into. Hope some of this helps.
