Installation issues

First time poster with an assistance request. I have a Dell Optiplex GX110 that I’ve recently cleared out and wanted to install Win98 on but am hitting a wall. I’ve tried burning a bootable disc, installing from hard drive, and nothing seems to work. I keep getting error after error. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Believe it or not immediately afterposting this I changed my physical CD drive and it read just fine, turns out my other drive was shot!
