You can use the win98 boot disk to boot just about any system. What
I'm saying is boot the box with the win98 boot disk, and see if it
will let you format the HD. If it will, do that, then install whatever
OS you were going to put on it. You might also, after you've got the
box up on the boot disk, do "fdisk /mbr". That will erase whatever you
have currently written to the master boot record. But do that before
installing the OS (if you get that far).
