How to format screwed-up hard drive and reinstall OS. 2005-11-16 - By peter wu
Back
Thanks, Bobby, for your kind suggestion. But I have a couple of basic questions
...
BTW, I was trying to get Knoppix burned on a CD. However, the size is larger
than the CD (>700MB). I've never burned a program that's bigger than the CD.
How can I do that?
Since I don't have a floppy drive, I wonder if I can make Windows 98 boot CD
. Also, could you please tell me more about how to use fdisk and format once
the system is booted of Win98 boot CD?
Thanks, in advance.

floppy.
