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

i dout think that there is dos on the system because somone tolled me if you do a f-disk it wipes EVERYTHING from the computer but unless there is dos on the windows disks i do not have it.

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?
