Ron, you never want to run Fdisk unless you absolutely have
to.  Just use the format utility from the hard drive's
manufacturer, this is always the best and fastest way.  The
win98 installation floppy has CDROM drivers on it, that's how
it installs windows from the CD.  Do you need me to email it
to you?

Downloaded GWscan tested hard drive with it failed the
test,time for a new
hard drive.
 I do need a Win98 boot disk with a D driver.
 Question will the boot disk let me run F-disk and format one
new HD?
Attachments and scans OK. rlmbkm@xxxxxxxx       Thanks
