www.bootdisk.com get a dos 6.22 boot disk. boot with it, and it;ll start the format. fdisk only shows you the c: partition, and the option to remove it and reset it. come back here if you need more

You're at square one right now. You have a doorstop that can be a computer if you install DOS and Windows. The DOS install disk_1 will boot the system and allow you to install. Do you have the floppies?
