Re: FDISK MY COMP

Basically, you want to reformat your computer, right? What version of Windows is this?

Re: FDISK MY COMP
The Windows 98 SE cd is bootable, I dont know if that is the version you are using, but you can drop to a dos prompt if you "Start with cd-rom support" run fdisk, delete the old partition, write the partition table, exit reboot, and then start the windows 98 setup from the cd. This will create a new partition and format it.

You can do this with most versions of windows.

Re: FDISK MY COMP

As jibtronic said, to "start with cd-rom support" go into your BIOS setup and set the boot order to read from the CD before it reads from the hard disk.
