glenafton.....I think if you D/l win98SE  oem disk it should work for you it has fdisk and format on it as well as all the cd drivers you will require. If you have any problems with that disk , E mail me and I'll send you the 9x bootdisk which I just used to format and reinstall win XP home ....

hope this helps

It's D:\setup or whatever the CDROM is (D, E, F, or ...?)
To find out try dir D:.  If directory is listed, then CDROM is D.
