Hey just wondering how do I fix my reformat? After some hardware issues I decided it was best to just reformat after taking out the old hardware. anyway I did that and now my cd seem tos be screwed up It says installing windows (i got 98) then it reboots and it shows me

"C:\" and I can type "dir" install, run, load, open doesnt seem to work for it. What do i type?
run setup.exe? I am not sure. Should I just go with linux? or go for winxp? Let me know please, thanks any help is appreciated,
