Just to be safe, what exactly is the command I need to type to reformat, I forget it all the time, and I don't want to have to look for it at that time.

I first type C:\ (or A, depending) and then format c:
Right?
If you boot with a Win98 boot disk that has the format command, at the A: prompt type

format c:

to format the drive.

If you are installing 98 again, on the C: drive, create c:\windows\options\cabs and copy all the Win98 files into the cabs file. Then run setup from C:windows\options\cabs. This will make it so you'll never need to use the Win98 CD when you add new hardware. When Windows asks which directory to install windows in, do not use windows.000, just remove the zeros and it will set up windows in the directory you created.

Hope this helps.
