Hi, A friend of mine has been given a Tiny computer with Windows 98 and we have been trying to format the hard drive ready for a fresh install of win 98. I downloaded a start-up floppy-disc kindly provided from your web site and after switching on the computer it displays the following message, "Searching for boot record from floppy OK" then "Remove discs or other media" then "Press any key to restart". I don't know if Tiny pc's need the original disc bought with the pc but we dont have them. Could you let me know how to get beyond 
this first stage so we can format please? Many thanks, John.
