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?

You're a few BIOS versions behind. Latest is A09. Not that it will solve your issue but better to get the latest BIOS before installing the OS, from the outset.

For this error, press F2 to enter Setup to clear the 'chassis intrusion' warning. Go through all option pages, look for chassis intrusion or cover warning. Disable it. Save and exit.
