<div id="RTEContent">Thanks, Eddie,<br> <br> I supposed I first need to make a Win98 boot diskette. However, my computer does't have a floppy drive. Can I make a Win98 boot CD instead? (I've read some links/postings that mentions Win98 boot diskette. Does it have to be on a floppy?)<br> <br> Also, once I format hard drive as FAT, can I reconfigure it to NTFS? (I could be wrong, but I thought WinXP was on NTFS.) Can I make it dual-boot with Linux if the file system is FAT instead of NTFS?<br> <br> Thanks, again.<br> <br> --peter<br> <br><b><i>Ed Landaveri <ed7tux@yahoo.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div id="RTEContent">Peter,<br> google for zapfdisk.

You may need to get the Windows XP cd. After this procedure and even before it the Dell CD won't work on your hardrive. I think somebody offered to send it to you. If you can't get zapfdisk, let me know and I will send it to you as a *.rar file. (Most *.exe get blocked as a spam or spyware) Every time I have problem with partitions zapfdisk have become helpful to me.<br> Regards<br> </div><div> </div><hr size="1"> <a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylc=X3oDMTFqODRtdXQ4BF9TAzMyOTc1MDIEX3MDOTY2ODgxNjkEcG9zAzEEc2VjA21haWwtZm9vdGVyBHNsawNmYw--/SIG=110oav78o/**http%3a//farechase.yahoo.com/">Yahoo!
