Default can't format hard drive

I can't seem to format the hard drive. Everything seem to be stuck in the
Window... I didn't mean to delete the oleaut32.dll. What do I need to do?

If you are trying to reinstall Windows 98, go to
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm and create a Windows
98 boot floppy. Use it to start the problem computer, select
"Start with CD support", then insert your Windows 98 CD,
type "setup" and press "Enter".

Windows allows us to format drive D: and others but
never C: We must reboot to DOS to FORMAT C:
