What OS are you trying to install?

You will need a primary partition normally and then if installing 98 it must be formatted as FAT - File Allocation Table.

Why not try grabbing a '98 boot floppy from our link partner bootdisk.com - the disk will load up the drivers dos requires for you to run the Windows installation CD.

Sorry to **** in, but does this mean that you can delete the first bit of the partition, if like me I have deleted Windows ME and installed Win 98 and getting some funny things going on when running Win 98. Would it be helpful to install another DOS system?.
