Linux doesnt run my fucking winmodem, and is very slugish on my
dinosaure laptop...

For now I wish  to format everything and return with Microshaft.

When I boot <a:format c:/u> I get the message "Cannot format a network
drive".

I rearranged differnet BIOS settings but to no avail...

PLEASE HELP ME.................................

Hi, if you have LILO on the MBR of the HDD don't forget to fdisk /mbr.
This command will over write LILO W/ a default Microsloth Boot Record.
