Cannot do FDISK

I'm having problems booting into Win98, so i tried to fdisk, and reformat...but as soon as i type fdisk at the A prompt, i get an error that says: No fixed disk found.

I've tried booting thru the cd-rom and the hard drive...but no deal, still wouldn't let me get into windows. I ran scandisk, it said no errors found, but cannot do anything.

Please, what can i do to be able to get back into Windows or do a clean install? I would rather do a clean install at this stage...any help would be appreciated.

 
formatting your master boot record shouldn't find your hard drive. Make sure you have your jumper settings correct. That your IDE cable is plugged in properly. Push comes to shove, reset your bios to default.

It worked for me before.
 
and the bios?
Is it a bad IDE cable, mayee switch it with another.

What type of HardDisk is it? Some of them have tiny 1-2mb patitions with their information on them, maybee that got fried? FDISK wont see that, but other software (PM) will.
 
I would try the bios default and change the ide cable............and let u guys know how that goes!
