If you simply want to clear the disk and start over then there is some

If you want to preserve the existing partition then you need to know what it

I am trying to reinstall Windows 98 on my computer. It shipped with a 8GB
hard drive. When I Format the drive, it only shows that 2GB of the drive
is
available for use. I want to get rid of an Extended DOS partition
occupying
the other 6GB of space. However, when attempting to delete this with
FDISK, I
am told that there are Logical Drives present, when the FDISK Information
Screen for the same partition says no such thing is present.
