Re-format the hard drive by
Pete
I want re-format my existing computer (Win98se OS) by
loading Win98 to a clean drive. Do I need to use
the "fdisk" tool to repartition the drive, or can I just
begin with the "format" tool? Is there an advantage to
recreating a primary partition or is OK to use the
existing one?
