I inherited this Dell Latitude LS laptop. When it looked as it was going to upload Win98, it GOES to DOS C:\. I am stuck there. Laptop does not have any floppy nor cd rom. PLEASE helpI don't think you meant to create the poll so I deleted it. You could try typing "win" and press enter to see if it will load into Windows 98. Unfortunately however I'd assume that either its corrupt an unable to load and/or does not have anything on the drive. If you want Windows on there you'll need to obtain a copy of Windows 98 and INSTALL it onto the computer.

Alternatively if it's an older computer and you just plan on browsing the web / doing e-mail, you may also want to consider an alternative operating system such as Linux. I'd suggest Ubuntu if your computer supports it.

This pages describes how to install Ubuntu by copying the contents of the installation CD to an USB drive such as a memory stick (or flash drive) and making the USB stick bootable.
