Hey, recently I was trying to go from Windows XP to Windows 98 SE because the computer wasn't powerful enough to handle XP. I ran the Windows 98 boot disc and chose to run windows setup, it then gave me an error message while trying to format the hard drive for setup. It said something about the partition. From there, I tried to go into fdisk, and I deleted all the partitions, and even then when I went to setup 98 SE, it would work, tell me to restart the computer, and then when I got back into the setup it gave me the same error message. Any suggestions?

I tried the program and when it loads up it gives me an error saying No Hard disks registered. Do I need to create one through the program?
