    Easy question, how do I format a hard drive?

    Thank you all for the tips. I have question about drivers, shouldn't Win 98 detect and install appropriate drivers for them? I just bought a $60.00 Pent 100mhz 1G Compaq5100 and the 98 CD and it loaded everything fine by its self. This one is for work, my question is for my home PC. Thanks again...
