Comment:
I have this same problem. I have a Dell laptop with Windows 2000 NT workstation on it. It is not compatible with anything. It is a pent 3.
I have the 98 win boot disc and the 98 OS with upgrade that I want to install.
I have no NT discs at all. Can anyone tell me what prompt to use in DOS to start the uninstall of NT?
Using a Windows 98 boot disk, then Fdisk, what effect would delete the non-MS-DOS partition have on a NTFS extended partition? Make it active first? Or will it work on any partition?
A logical drive on an extended partition is not bootable. Only a primary partition is bootable.
You can download the latest version of fdisk which you can use to delete the present NT partitions so you can then use 98 fdisk to partition. Killdisk, and /or the drive manufacturers download utilities can do the same. All are free online.
Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.
You have NT, not 2000. If you don't know the difference are you up to this task? Have you ever used fdisk, or installed an OS? Do you already have your drivers downloaded from Dell for when you reinstall? Your signature shows you know little about the machine, so just checking.
