you need a windows 98 boot disk, you can find one here. once you have make a bootdisk restart and put the disk into the Disk drive... then just "Format c:"

I think that's all that's to it.

Download it on the computer you're on to a floppy disk. You need the floppy disk in the first place.

Put it in, restart the computer, press F8 to go into bios, search through and choose Boot 1st: Floppy, wait for the DOS field to come up and type Format C:

Done.
