Ok...give me the partition info again...let's see if we have a primary partition.

Start fdisk again and do option 4 on the options screen to get the info.

I appreciate all the help. The screen says:

Display Partition Information
Current fixed disk drive: 1
No partitions defined
Press Esc to continue

Ok...Let's do this one step at a time...

Press Esc to go back to the previous screen. Then choose option 1. Create DOS partition or Logical DOS Drive and press ENTER

[wannabe1]

Next, press 1 to select the Create Primary DOS Partition menu option, and then press ENTER.

[beckcraigd]

Done. Now it wants me to select:

1. Create Primary DOS Partition
2. Create Extended DOS Partition
3. Create Logical DOS Drive(s) in the Extended DOS Partition

[wannabe1]

Now...do you receive this message?

Do you wish to use the maximum available size for primary DOS partition?

[beckcraigd]

I am not sure yet. Do I select "1" to Create Primary DOS Partition? Just trying to make sure.

No. I dont get the message you were looking for. It is hanging again at the same screen saying Verifying drive integrity, 0% complete.

[wannabe1]

Sorry...I got ahead of you.....let me know when you catch up......

[beckcraigd]

I think I am up with you now, but it is hanging again at the same spot. I never get the message: Do you wish to use the maximum available size for primary DOS partition?

[wannabe1]

I think we're working with the wrong bootdisk...download this Bootdisk, save it to the desktop. Double click on it and put the a floppy in the drive when prompted to do so to create a Win98SE OEM startup disk...

Let me know when you are ready

[beckcraigd]

Almost ready.....

[beckcraigd]

OK. I created the new disk, and rebooted to the A:\

[beckcraigd]

I wnet ahead and ran FDISK with the new bootdisk. But it is still hanging up in the exact same spot.
