You need to put in your Win 98 startup floppy and run Fdisk and reformat before you reinstall Win 98.  If a virus destroyed your MBR, you need to completely start over by cleaning off the hard drive with fdisk and reformatting.


>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?
