    Format, FDISK, Etc;

    Hi all! PC is Hewlet packard. Operating sys. is Win 98.
    i'm trying to reinstall win. 98. The pc is my son's. it just quit working.
    when I try to format C drive, Error message is [ format not supported on drive C.
    When I try to run [setup] with win 98 startup disk, at he "a" prompt I type setup,[this always worked before], i get error message: cannot create a temporary directory. If you have HPFS OR NTFS, Installed on your hard drive, you will need o create an ms-dos parition to set up windows.
    When I run FDISK to set up a partition, it says no fixed drives present. what can I do to remedy this ? Its like the hard drive isn't recongnized
    also, i checked all the connections inside, & all look "ok" I even changed positions on the "ribbon"
    Thanks !
