re-installing windows 98
Posted by rich on August 27th, 2003


I've completely wiped out my hard drive using f-disk. I
then set my primary partition to active. Now, every time
I put in the cd to reinstall win98 I get an error
saying "setup cannot install windows 98 on your computer.
an error was detected while formatting your primary hard
disk partion"

Im at a loss....have no idea what to do and my computer is
now dead....thanks in advance for your help!!
