setup cannot find enough disk space to install windows 98, help please

[Ray06492]

I installed a used 4.3 gig harddrive in an old dell p/133. I'm trying to install windows 98, and I receive this message:

Setup cannot find enough disk space to install Windows 98. Setup will quit. Free some disk space and then run setup again. You need at least 205 megabytes.

What is the solution to this problem?

Thank you,
Raymond

I'd run Fdisk from a Windows 98 setup disk and then format the drive. Get rid of any old partitions on it and choose Fat32 (large hard drive support). Partition it into one Primary partition. Format it and try reinstalling.
