computer acer, aspire(v12lc mother bd) v2 bios. System was running with win 95 when some programs were deleted. decided to load win98, but to clean drive first disk was reformated by dos 6.22 format.. When attempting to load windows the system stops and claims there is another operating system on HD and stops. FDisk shows only one partition. reformating does not help. Smae computer. replaced hard drive with an 7.69MB dr. with win98 loaded and working on another computer. Acer would not boot up with the replacement (larger) drive. and bios will not allow for change in drive size though it seems to recognize it by listing proper cylinders,heads etc but still shows the old 850MB dr. The system will boot to the same 850MB drive that won'y allow win98 to load on it with DOS as the system.
