I'm trying to get my computer fresh and clean so I can try reinstalling everything and maybe that will fix my problems. My last post is "kt3 mobo issues" if you want to take a look. Not too many people seem to be checking it out so I'm starting a new thread since I'm having new troubles. I was advised to delete my partition and put in a new one. I did that and when it got done it said I needed to restart. When I did it came back with just a cursor blinking at me. I had wanted to format my drive but I never got the chance. So I figured I'd try installing win 98 and do my starting over bit. I restart with my boot disk and I get a run time error 200 at some location. I wrote it down in my other post. So I can't seem to get past this. So I changed my bios to boot from the cd and I put in my win 98 cd. It starts up and I have it put in my cd drivers. It changed to a C prompt then so I decide now might be a good time to do my format and I'll reinstall my drivers later. It starts to format and I get some error that it can't format. Then I attempt a setup and it says I have errors on my hard drive that need fixing. I'm confused as to what I need to do next.
 
If you deleted the partition then theres no partition to install to. Try making another partition and then installing. This can be done using fdisk on the windows 98 boot disk.
 
I did put in a new partition. I deleted the old one, put in a new one, and checked that it was the active partition.
