Hi there are several programs that can do this. go to download.com and
see what you can find.
if not .....
start fdisk, delete windows partition.
then use the startup disk in win98 to restart start fdisk again and
answer no at the first question, (it is somthing about using
extended....) then go to delete non-dos partitions and see if they are
there. if they are ......reboot. then start fdisk with extended support.
and create a primary that is using the whole disk reboot and
format c:/s this could free up up your drive.
it seems like it is imposible to delete non dos partitionds with
extended support in fdisk.
i know this is kind of obvious,so dont falame me if you have done this.
