# Well,
Most i've ever really done is stick ram in, I don't trust myself when it comes to formatting and the like, i'm gonna be such a great assistant IT support bloke come work experiance.
Anyhow, as long as everythings backed up I may as well try a little fiddling...

# whatever else you do
create a boot disk before you start fiddling...

# really
a boot disk is a floppy disk with the bare minimum you need to access dos, your harddisk and normally your CD. Without it fixing your computer when its gone titsup is a lot of hassle. You should be able to create one from the windows control panel (somewhere in System I think). good luck.

# highly reccomend
when you reformat

partition the drive, copy your win98(or whatever) cd onto your second partition

install from there.

makes life a lot easier.
