Ok, this is a completly newbie question but I've only formatted twice. Here's the problem..I need to format my pc (too much ad-aware and etc and 4yrs without formatting) I've only formated my computer 2 times using Win98 System Recovery Discs. I sold my original Win98 CD and burned it CD-to-CD. Well, now I'm wondering if I format would I need a boot disc? (I don't want to use the Recovery Discs, want to avoid at all costs..don't ask me why) I don't have a Win2000 Original CD because let's face it...I can't afford it and Win98 sucks. I don't want to create a boot disk because it seems like my Floppy drive has some sort of problems because every floppy I insert into it (and modify it's contents) when I pop it back it in says "This disk is not formatted would you like to format?" I try to format and it won't format. But that's a seperate problem. Thank you.

P.S. Please I don't need any reccomendations to switch to Linux, I'm happy with Windows for now (or at least till I buy a seperate Hard Drive because my HD is to small to partition)
