Short and sweet: get yourself a startup floppy (preferably one that came with the Win98 package or one made with Win98 under the Add/Remove Programs option in the control panel). Boot with this disk. It will give you CD-ROM access and allow you to format the drive if necessary. Simply boot from this disk and run SETUP.EXE from the Win98 CD-ROM and it basically walks you through it from there. Best way to learn it is get in and do it if you have an opportunity (i.e., don't format one of the school's machines without explicit permission). Just make sure you have your CD Key and certificate handy. Best of luck!
