Question : Trying to reformat hard drive- win2k(NTFS), I only have win98 boot disk

My hard drive has 3 partitions on it, C: has win2k installed, the D: and E: are for programs and files.  6 months ago or so I upgraded from win98 to win2k and converted my c: to ntfs.  Lately, I have had many problems, possibly a virus, so I decided to reformat c:, which I have done many times with win98, first time with win2k.  I assumed that fdisk and format c: would work the same even though I used my win98 bootdisk and I now know it does not recognize ntfs.  So when I typed in format c:, I actually formatted d:, which was fine but in the process I converted it to ntfs.  My question is, how can I just wipe the entire drive clean and start over?  So far I have not had any luck.  Thanks.

Answer : Trying to reformat hard drive- win2k(NTFS), I only have win98 boot disk

boot to the Windows 98 boot disk.

At the DOS prompt, type FDISK and select large hard drive support (answer "Y") and then remove the
non-DOS partition. Keep doing this until all partitions are gone.

Reboot the system to the 98 disk again, but this time "with CD ROM drive support, and again load Fdisk. Again select large hard drive support.

Create a primary partition and make it active.

Reboot to the 98 disk again then run this command
