Now that I'm using XP I just do it with the XP CD if it is a new install. If I add a drive I also do it with XP's disk management. If I was going to do a WIN98 PC I would boot with a WIN98 boot disk and enter the format command from the A prompt.
A: Format C:/S Format C and lay down system files. http://www.computerhope.com/msdos.htm Chas
