Can someone please help, I have an IBM thinkpad 380z that had windows 98 installed on the c drive then I installed windows XP on the D drive, after doing that I realized that it took up to much space and did a format on drive c and now the computer wont boot I get an error saying "Invalid system disk replace and then press and key" But there is not a disk in the computer. I have tried getting windows 98 to reinstall but with no luck so if anyone has any ideas please help if you can.
Thanks

Well not exactly similar, but try the responses that guide you to using a boot disk and then accessing the CD ROM.
Then you can put the win98 cd in and reinstall win98.
Post on THIS thread and NOT the other one, lets not mix things up :)

Good Luck and Happy Computing,

Of course it won't boot...you removed the operating system!
