[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux at Fry's

[kws1414]

Hi I bought one of these things due to a financial crunch (have a little boy) and recently had to reimage the drive with that Fast Windows Linux CD.  I can't get Win98SE back onto it.  I looked in the skimpy guide book and tried to del-pat as it says, but it doesn't work.  Somebody at work told me it might be that the Win98 is not reading the drive or something b/c when I run Win98 setup it says that drive C is bad.  It has something to do with the way the partitions are set up or something. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
