Well then use a win98 boot disk and format the drive using the FDISK command. When in FDISK, create partitions you desire and then exit the utility to run a format. Once you have run a format you will be ready to install win98.

I think what you are going into is the Western Digital Lifeguard utility and not your bios setup. I prefer to format my drives using FDISK instead of using the manufactures utilities, but again this is my preference but you can use whatever you would like.

Since you have not formatted we should begin with how big is your drive and do you plan on having separate partitions or are you going to leave it as one big drive? Once you give us this info we could tell you the required steps you will need to perform to install 98. HTH
