You should get some help with this one. Its a little tricky.
Back up your data.
Make sure you system BIOS is able to boot from A or CD rom then hard drive 3rd.
Use an emegency boot disk to get into safe mode.
If you have the Windows 98SE FULL CD you can directly boot to this and it will guide you if not you are on a difficult journey that will take you an hour to 3 hours to format, parition, reinstall os, set up, install ALL drivers and 3rd party software.
If you have a official boot disk. It will walk you through the process.
If you have to do it manually you will have to learn about the format c: /s/v command and switches. Format C: only will erase but WILL NOT make you hard drive bootable!

Win98 users mostly did that with the rescue floppy they made. You boot off that and just type Format c:
But, no offense, if you had to ask that question it would probably not be a good idea to try to redo your hard drive without some help.
Reformatting wipes out everything. All of your software and hardware drivers would need to be redone from scratch.

ninety 9% of the pcs that you position in WIN98 or WIN98SE on may have the color of four colorations you in case you may connect with the internet you may do a glance for for the video motive force on the maker of the laptop locate the kind # of the laptop say at gateway/dell/hp website and they could nonetheless have the drivers for the tower. Microsoft not has updates for WIN98 because it phased out very last three hundred and sixty 5 days and WIN2000 will section out updates in 2009 like XP will likely section round 2012 on the updates area so vista stands proud because the purely one left until eventually the subsequent OS from MS. thanks

With mine I stick in a disk called Windows 98, 'restore pack' and just press yes and no when it prompts me. After that it's totally reformatted.
