One of the more simple things with 98 is just to copy the format and
fdisk files from
Windows\System onto the emergency start disk.
You can then use fdisk there, but DO NOT answer Y to the "Do you want
to enable large disk support?". It will then partition the whole drive
in FAT16, and MSDOS will run.
Forgotten what the exact number is, but 98SE cannot create a partion
over 20 or so gigabytes.
