Hey,
I have this other computer(OS = Win98) that i want to get working, it started a few weeks ago when i got an illegal operation with Explorer.exe everytime when i booted up, so i formatted.
Then it wouldn't work at all, just kept going straight to Command Prompt, so i deleted the partitions, created new ones, formatted them etc etc, and now it says 'No Drives Found, Aborting Installation' when i use a boot-up disk. It also says that mscd001 cant be found. Any Idea's?

What does fdisk show?
And time for a new boot disk.

Totol Diskspace is 1036 Mbytes

I deleted all my partitions because this site i was at said it would do a clean install. I created a Primary partition though, and thats it there.

Try another bootdisk, say one from

http://www.bootdisk.com

and see what it can do for fdisk and format. Get one for the same level of OS you are trying to install.
