Whoops thats "Format C:" (won't work without the :)


: If you already have another computer running windows 95/98, you can create a Start Up disk. You do this by going to your control panel and clicking on add remove software, then on the tab on the top of the window labeled startup disk, enter a blank disk and the windows 95/98 CD and hit the create disk button. A new copy of Win95/98 comes with this diskette but most people end up loosing them. Use this disk to boot your machine you want to reformat. If you want to re-partition your hard drive, at the A prompt (A:) type "fdisk" (without "quotations") and follow the instructions. When that is done, re-boot the machine. Then at the A prompt type "Format C" (without "quotations") it will warn you that all data will be lost, hit enter and it will format your drive. Once it is done, again re-boot the machine with the startup disk, this time make sure to select Boot with CD-ROM Support, and make sure you have the windows 95/98 CD in the CD drive. At the A Prompt type "setup" " (without "quotations") and windows will install.

: Hope this helps.

: Though many games will not run smoothly on a Pentium 133, since it is a free computer, you might want to try to overclock it. If this interests you check out http://www.overclockers.com/
