You can use the smartdrv.exe command and then run the setup from your folder.
See this link about smart drive:

k windux i try to use this command b4 installing windows 2000 and i want to ask about it will be dual bootup or clean single os installation because after i format c drive and installing windows 2000 the windows 98 startup still appears it just no windows any more ... mean 2 operatind system windows come during startup...
so how can i clean install it .
thanx

 

You have two drives, C: and D:
Format c: drive, run the smartdrv command and do not restart the computer.
Go to d: where you have the i386 w2k contents folder and then run the setup.
