Formatting hard drive

Waffle

Is it possible to activate Windows?

Otherwise you will need a boot disk for W98 - www.bootdisk.com

This must contain fdisk and format.

ProcalX

make sure your bootable windows 98 floppy disk is in your floppy drive, reboot your computer, when your computer boots off the floppy and you are left with an A:\ prompt:

now put your Windows 98 CD into one of your CD / DVD drives, now type this:

now hit enter, you should now be in:

now type this:

now hit your enter button, you should now be in:

now type this:

the "/s" part tells the format utility that this is the drive that will have the Operating System on, (although you do not HAVE to put this)

or just do:
Now you should be able to format..

Now once it's finished, reboot your computer, and make sure your floppy disk is not in the floppy drive, but keep the Windows 98 cd in the drive.

then go through the setup process.
