I have found out that the hard drive most likely is not the problem.  I got
a new hard drive in yesterday, and when I hooked it up, it could not be set
up either on this computer.  It did work on another computer though.

Every time I tried to use Western Digital's Disk to set up the drive, it
would go through everything to the end, then say it was unable to find the
partition table on the drive.  If I tried to just use fdisk from a win98
boot disk, it would act like it did everything fine, but when you go back
in to fdisk..... it hadn't created a partition.  The only thing I can think
of right now, is that the new motherboard is bad.  I am getting that
replaced to see if that is the problem, but if you have any other ideas,
let me know.
