The first thing I would do would be to google "delpart" without the quotes, read the instructions on how to use delpart, copy it to a floppy, reboot, remove partition, throw in win 98, and sit back.

Use the manufacturer's disk tools to run a zero fill. Then, boot off a win98SE floppy to partition and format. Finally, stick in the 98 CD, boot off of it, and go ahead and install the O/S.

All you need to do is boot with the Windows 98 CD. When it comes to NTFS or any other NON-DOS partition, you do NOT NEED a 3rd party application to remove or repartition a drive. In fact, as powerless as fdisk on Win98 is, it is still able to accurately guage the presence of a NONDOS partition and prompt you to remove it.
