You will need to buy a new Hard Drive to get the machine to work again. Here is a link to a site that I buy my hard ware from. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductList.jsp?ThirdCategoryCode=110901
You will need to buy a drive less than 133 GB because Windows 98 will not support a drive larger than that. But you should also consider buying a new computer if you use it to go on the internet because Windows 98 is not supported by Microsoft any more. Which means that you are not getting any updates from them and that leaves your computer unsecured and you will continue to leave your self open to Viruses, Spyware and Identity theft. You can get a new computer from about $400 for a desktop or about $450 for some laptops. I hope this helps you out.

It's really time for a new computer. Win 98 hasn't been supported for more than a year & it's only gonna get worse in the future. Computers are so cheap nowadays: you can get 10 times the one you have for $300-400. Make sure you get XP, it's still available if you require it

Might be time to get a new pc(if you can afford it) a more modern without a new screen or printer can be found for as little as $250. Get one with xp on it, vista still has a lot of bugs for now.

put the disc in,restart the machine,just as the screen starts to come on click on the 'r',it will then ask you to click on the r,then it will ask you what 3 options you want to do,click on the 'f',that will format the drive
