Harry:
I downloaded Windows98SE, ran Fdisk, deleted Non-Dos Partitions, and created
a Primary DOs Partition and rebooted. When I tried to run format C: I get
"invalid command." I ran A:\DIR and notice there is no Format.com file. Of
course now I have no operating system except Windows 98 boot on a:. What do I
do now? Where can I find a valid format file? My dos 6.22 format won't work.
This is the very reason I wanted to play around on a old system in case I
screwed it up.

Don't bother with DOS 6.22 pick up a Windows 98 Start-up floppy from
www.bootdisk.com and then run FDISK to delete Non-DOS partitions, create a
Primary Partition, reboot and then run format c:

I am playing around with an old PC and want to remove the installed Windows
2000, reformat the HD, and install Windows 98. I do not have the original
Windows 2000 Installation CD. I tried to run the old DOS 6.22 Format.com from
A: floppy but got "incorrect DOS version."
Any Suggestions?
