ASUMIMG YOUR RUNNING WIN 98,,BOOT WITH FLOPPY THAT HAS FDISK.EXE AND FORMAT COM,,AND SYS.COM ON IT,,
AFTER BOOTING TYPE FDISK[SPACE]/MBR
HIT ENTER,,YOU WON'T SEE ANYTHING HAPPEM,,THIS ERASES THE MASTER BOOT RECORD,,
NOW TYPE FDISK [ HIT ENTER] AND DELETE ANY PARTITIONS,,
REBOOT OFF FLOPPY TYPE FDISK [ENTER]
AND CREATE NEW PARTITION,,
REBOOT,,AND TYPE FORMAT[SPACE] C:[SPACE] /S
THIS WILL FORMAT THE DRIVE AND MAKE IT BOOTABLE
IF THE DRIVE IS NOT BAD

: i have a samsung 2.5gig ide harddrive and it spins on power up and the bios auto detect's it.
: now when i go to format it it show funky charactores at the bottom of the screen.
: now i did find out that some one has compressed it.
: from 2.5mb to 7.6mb
: so is this a virus or some kind of compression software?
