Can’t erase the partition

by jtpaderes . Updated 19 years, 9 months ago

Good day!

I have a Compaq Presario 5182 with Quantum 5.25 Series TS 6.4AT Bigfoot with an OS of Windows 98. Now my problem is, I suppose to re-partition this hard drive and re-install my OS. I still have my Restoration CD but when I used this one, at the middle of the installation, it displays an error that a certain file is cannot be found. So I decided to use a third party re-partitioning program like Partition Magic and BootNG. I also used FDISK (DOS, but when I boot-up to take effect the re-partition. It boots but STILL on the same partition (the drive C & D) and no changes. i check the partition, it has a Primary, Extended and a logical “SYSTEM_SAVE” partition.
I really need to re-partition and re-install my OS. So if ever you guys have a great idea and suggestions. Can you please share it with me. Thank you in advance.
