how do i copy win 98 from desk top to lap top using the recovery cd?

the situatoin is this.  I am buying this from a company that fired many
employees and it currently has win 2k professional, however i do not have
administrative access on the computer so i have to take it top them for them
to clear the hard drive.  After this is done will I have to have a recovery
disk to get it going or like my previous question can i copy win 98 to it?
