Definitely Fdisk, and reformat the drive. Try to find a win98 boot dick with a 
CD Driver already on it. If you have trouble finding one, I can e-mail you a 
copy.

Hi Ron
            the drive probably isn't blown but windows maybe.You need to
boot into dos and run norton disk doctor (dos version).Sounds like the FAT
is blown.There are 2 copies on the disk and norton will try to make a good
copy.If that doesn't work you'll probably need to re format the disk or
maybe fdisk it and then format and then reload windows
