    Tried to run a disk in cd drive but mistook and entered run c
    now my computer boots to the windows 98 page only and then runs a scan disk, it errors and says unable to fix fat error on drive c.

    Reckoned then I had to re boot using boot disk but cannot work how to change boot order to boot from floppy or cd rom first.

    Any help would be great to either fix or re boot.

    Change the boot order in the setup program (rewrite the CMOS.)

    Typically, during POST (Power On Self Test) you must press a key to gain access to setup. Quite often the key is the "Del" key, but depending on your system, it could be something else. This is usually displayed during startup.
