Please help. To make a long story short, computer crashed. Am trying to
install win 2000 from update cd (I have 98 disk). Got to 100% of disk
formatted and got the following message:

Setup was unable to format the partition. The disk may be damaged.
Make sure the drive is switced on and properly connected to your computer.
If the disk is a SCSI disk, make sure your SCSI devices are properly
teminated. Consult your computer manual or SCSI adapter documentation for
more information.
You must select a different partition for windows 2000. To continue press
enter.

What do I do now? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
 
Sounds like your hd has failed.
These days the cost of large hd is very affordable, get a
new hd..
