Lately my PC (Toshiba) developed some problems. I believed it kind of crashed. When I switch it on, it will ask me to put a "bootable disk in a dive". I did that i.e booting in a windows 98 bootdisk and tried starting windows. After booting from the disk, it indicates "CANNOT CREATE A TEMPORARY FILE. IF YOU HAVE HPFS OR NTFS INSTALLED, YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE A MS-DOS PARTITION TO SET UP WINDOWS". What should I do?

I also inserted the WINDOWS 98 CD-DISK to setup windows 98 but it indicates "WINDOWS 98 HAS DETECTED THAT DRIVE C DOES NOT CONTAIN A VALID FAT OR FAT32 PARTITION". What Should I Do???
