The Product Key is not on the CD anywhere so if the old installation is gone
there is no way to recover the key from the computer.
If Windows 98 is retail, contact Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=326246
If Windows 98 is OEM contact the seller, Microsoft may not be able to help
with OEM.
Otherwise since this is a Windows Update newsgroup, you should post in a
Windows 98 newsgroup:
