reinstalling win 98se problem

[daveman]

Hi, Im trying to reinstall windows 98 se on a hard drive. The hard drive was partitioned into 5 partitions before. How do i reformat it into just on partition?

so you wanna delete all 5 partitions? and have just 1 partition? I think thats what your asking...right?

 

[daveman]

Fdisk

Fdisk:

Del partitions
3. del all logical DOS drives.
2. del extended DOS partition.
1. del primary DOS partition.

Create partition
1. create primary DOS partition & set it as the active partition.

reboot then run format command.

In case lowtech's reply wasn't enough for you, I'll just post two links that are a bit more comprehensive:

Good luck man...

Another option that can be considered, most HardDrive manufacturers have utilities that can partition drives as well. just check out their websites, support---download sections...
