If your bios supports it, the Win98 CD should itself boot, failing that doesn't
fdisk lurk in c:\windows\command ??

Also, isn't there a dir on the CD called 'olddos' or similar, is it in there?

This should enable you to delete all the existing partitions and then use
your Win98 boot disk to do the install..

Sorry I can't be 100% sure as I only have a Win95 m/c in front of me at the
