It could mislead you into thinking the install disc is faulty when it's just memory-limited. More on the disk you have purchased. I was not aware it is legally possible to still buy Win98se, but maybe it is. If my memory serves me, no CD of Win98se had any special marking - the hologram was on the packaging - the box, or inside on a manual with a hologram sticker of some sort.
