What kind of problems.
Did you boot from floppy? DOS 6.x or Win 98?
Is the hard drive partitioned?
Once in DOS/Win98, did you run format c: ?
The way I usually do it is by having a Win 98 boot
disk (available at
www.bootdisk.com). Once I have
booted I run
fdisk /mbr
This restores the master boot record if it was damaged.
Then I run FDISK
I select the option to delete the partition. Tale into consideration
that if you have any exended dos or logical partitions those have
to de deleted first. Once the hard drive (HD) is clean (no partitions)
I partition it again. I have no idea of the size of your drive, or if
you want it to have more than one partition. If you only want one,
use the disk's entire space for that one partition. I usually
partition it into two, the first partition for Windows and all
applications, the second one for data. I keep a relation of 90%/
10% or 80%/20% (windows and apps/data) depending on the
size of the hd.
Once you have partioned your hd, exit fdisk and reboot the PC
using the Win98 floppy. Once the OS is loaded proceed to
format using tghe format c: /v (the /v to is assign a volume label
to the hd).
God luck!
