Restart in ms dos mode then then change dir to c: by cd\ + Enter then then when it's C: type format c: + Enter then it will say that all data on removable disk drive will be lost y/n type y + Enter then after format is completed follow the same mathods by going to D: "WITH WIN 98 IN CD ROM DRIVE" then type setup so it should look like that D:setup ,if you already visited the site windowsreinstall.com just don't listen to me and good luck :)
