I am trying to format a harddrive in order to install Windows 98. The computer has OS/2 Warp with HPFS partitioning on it. I don't know how to use Fdisk to fix this problem. Thanks Steve

Steve,
If you want to erase your OS/2 partition, you have to delete the partition with "os/2's" fdisk and then reboot with windows disk on your drive (or CD). If you want to keep your OS/2 partition, and if the size of this partition is the entire size of your disk, you will have to reduce that size with a partitioning tool as PQmagic.
