How do I get the Win 98 installer to format the HD during the install. I have an old toshiba laptop I will be giving away and I want a clean install. CharlesCook.com

You format the hard disk before the install:

* Use your 98 Boot Disk and choose With CD Support
* At the command prompt, type format c:
* Press y to confirm the format
* Wait for this to finish and run the setup.exe off the Windows 98 CD
