I have an ancient box with W98. I want to format HD and install 98SE. Do I need a boot floppie or what? I am used to using the 4 floppies for the W2K reformat/reinstall. Same same? No files or anything to save either.

Always easier to do it with a floppy. Boot, then format the drive. Or fdisk it to remove the partition and reboot and move to the CD for setup.

You can also set the BIOS to boot from cd rom first. and you can also fdisk and format with the win98 s.e. cd.
