Please give me step by step simple dicriptions on how to delete everything to get my computer to how it was as i already said. I need to know how to delete everything then load it all back up. And how do I tell what a restore disc is? I have the windows disc and the floppy disc to boot it up. Are those the things to restore it?? Please post back with directions on how to delete everything from my computer and on how to put the original things back on. Please Reply ASAP. I was waiting for a reply on my last one but no one posted back. I don't know what to do.

Here's a good step-by-step guide:
http://www.windowsre...loppy/index.htm

If you don't have a 98 floppy disk, just download one from http://www.bootdisk.com

Or here's a quick guide:
1.) Get your hands on a Windows 98 start disk (a floppy).

2.) Pop the Windows 98 Startup Disk into your computer and restart.
The computer will reboot and load off the floppy - it should prompt
you if you want to enable CD support - choose that option.

3.) Once you get to the command line, type: fdisk. Delete your primary partition. Next create a new primary partition. (This will totally scrub your hard drive.) It will ask if you want to use the FAT32 support - say yes.

4.) In the fdisk menu first choose (1) Create DOS Partition or Logical
DOS Drive; then chose (1) Create Primary DOS Partition. It will then
ask you if you want to make it the largest size - say yes.

5.) You are done with fdisk after this. Back all the way out back to
the command line and ytpe: format c:
This will format your hard drive, destroying all data.

6.) When you've finished formatting, you're ready to reinstall Windows
98. Your harddrive is 100% clean now, I promise! Reboot your
computer, loading off the Windows 98 Floppy again. Opt for CD-ROM
support (again). When you get to the command line, navigate to the CD
ROM drive (probably E:) by typing: E: (replace e: with whatever, if your CDROM is a different drive letter).

7.) Type: setup
You should be off and running on a fresh new install of Windows 98!
Congratulations!
