Great video here

This video shows you how to delete the partition and then format it, this is recommended to get a clean install, the video stops after formatting unfortunately, after you have deleted the partition and formatted the drive continue the installation using these commands.

Pre-install the windows CAB files to your disk for a faster install, and you won't need the Windows CD again.
Well............ Almost never :o)

That's right.
If you place the CAB files onto your formatted hard drive you will get two benefits.

1. The install will go much faster.
2. You won't need to hunt down the CD every time Windows needs to add a driver or device.

After Partition and formating is done You will be brought to an A:\> prompt.
Change to a C prompt by typing C: and press enter.

You will now be at a C:\> prompt.
Type MD WIN98 and press enter.
( Make sure you leave a space between MD and WIN98. )

Back at the C:\> prompt.
Type CD E:\WIN98 and press enter.
( Don't forget the space between CD and E:\WIN98. )

Back at the C:\> Prompt,
Type E: and press enter.
( Where E is your CD-ROM, otherwise use your CD-ROM letter. )

You should now be at an E:\WIN98 prompt.
Type COPY *.* C:\WIN98 and press enter.
( Don't forget the spaces between 'copy and *.*' and also between '*.* and C:\WIN98' )
The files needed for Windows will now be copied from your CD to your hard drive.

Back to an E:\WIN98 prompt.
Type C: and press enter.

Back at the C:\> prompt.
Type CD WIN98 and press enter.
( Don't forget the space between CD and WIN98. )

You will now be at a C:\WIN98 prompt.
Type SETUP and press enter.
Installation of Windows will now begin.
