Under Win98, what is the string to format my hard drive... partitions and all. I have the GAY VIRUS and can't use my system. Thanks.

NewBldr,
Boot from 98 boot floppy. At the A:\> prompt type fdisk & hit enter. (Hit enter after each command) Just follow the dirctions it gives you. Delete the existing partition. (You'll lose everything, but sometimes that's the only way)
Create a new partition. you can divide your hard drive into several partitions now if you'd like. Make your 1st partition a Primary DOS drive - this will be your C:\ drive. Reboot. At the A:\> prompt type format c: /s, hit enter, go have a nice cup of coffe while your drive is formatted. when it's done, reboot, pop in your Win98 CD & run setup. Good Luck & Have Fun!!:P

The information is appreciated. It's actually my brother's system, but easier to post as if it were my own. Again, thanks!
