Sounds like it might being trying to network boot first..check in the BIOS the startup order..I usually set it to CD-ROM, FLOPPY, HARD DRIVE..and have network boot disabled unless you need it. It could also be something starting with the OS that is set to launch as a pre-boot..run a START>RUN>MSCONFIG while in windows and disable all unneeded items under the startup tab..if I recall at least I think MSCONFIG is part of 98..been so long. Starup items you are specifically looking for are items related to that novell client.

Also another thing you can do is check under your network protocols if the novell protocol is installed..if it is you can unisntall it as you dont need it on a home machine off a network.
