when i try and uninstall winxp with a win98 boot disk, 98% into the format i get wrte protect error, retry abort fail.

I get the same error when trying to fdisk too.
HD is fully functional in xp with no problems. I just want to do a clean install again due to some slowdown with apps.

Pop the install CD into the drive, boot from it, and try to repartition/reformat using the setup program.
