Hi,

If the original drive is in NTFS, you will have to use fdisk and delete the
non-dos partition, and then create a primary dos partition. When finished,
exit fdisk and reboot to the floppy and format the new primary dos partition
(at this point it should be seen as C rather than the other drive). There is
no way around this as you cannot install Win98 on a NTFS formatted drive.
