Since no one else has replied I'll try and guide you..  :)

The way I do it is:
 Copy stuff I need to keep to disk or other partition
 Boot from Win98 boot disk (even if installing Win95 or Win3.11)
 Type "format c: /q" (quick format)
 You can proceed to install whatever you want

Hehe, don't blame me if it goes wrong.
