You need to reinstall the OS.

Boot up with Win98 bootdisk and type FDISK.
Follow instructions on screen.
After repartitioning with FDISK restart the computer again with bootdisk.
Type FDISK /MBR
After that type FORMAT C: /U

Now you are ready to reinstall whatever OS you want...

Well,as you´re posting your querie in the Win 3.x forum,I assume that you wanna run Win 3.x in your system,so you have to format your HDD as said in the message above,but,first,when you run FDISK,if you´re using a Win98 bootdisk,you have to answer at the question that if you wanna use all the space if your HDD it´s bigger of 2GB,with a NO,and the HDD will be formatted with a Fat16 file system,the one needed in order to run DOS and Win3.x.
visit www.bootdisk.com if you wanna get you a bootdisk for DOS,Win3.x,or the first Win95
