thanks stephen, but i still got the same problem. i believe there is something wrong with my mbr coz mandrake can't read the partition table. I don't know much about this thing but i'm willing to do it. I read that windows will somehow leave itself on a certain part of the harddisk even if you format the drive. Well, i downloaded the program to zero the harddisk here. It says this" "This procedure performs a pseudo-formatting to the drive. It erases all of your previous data and reinitializes it to "00" pattern. By performing this task, you will be able to erase the whole user area including your Master Boot Record, Partition Table, FAT (File Allocation Table), and all the files and data it refers to. Use this program if you want to be sure your drive is clean."
So my question is, after running this program, can i easily boot up my pc properly? as in, i load in my win98 setup disk? Or will it not load at all and i have to fill up some other parameters? Sean
