whoah.if you turn back to the original boot it will probably be the floppy .you want to boot from the hard drive (fastest ,once you have installed windows mind,then the cd rom then whatever the third boot device might be probably the floppy)but the first post is correct boot from the cd and follow the instructions ,you can then format and partition from the cd to your hearts content
1) The cammand to format from a Win98 boot disk is format c: (assuming you want to forma the c: drive)Originally posted by sparky
nooooo!!!!!!!!!!
you are right to say this but if the guy doesnt really know much about formatting the last thing he wants to do is boot into dos with a windows 98 disk and format/f disk etc thats much too tricky for a novice .......:
