I am giving a Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop to a friend. It currently has SuSE Personal 8.0 on it. She is willing to try it as long as there is a W98 partition on it. So I tried to install W98 from scratch on it and got the message that the drive was damaged and could not be formatted. The same thing happened when I tried to install W2000. Then I couldn't boot the SuSE 8.0 system. I reinstalled SuSe 8.0 easily enough, so I know the drive is okay, but what do I have to do to allow windows to install on it? Anyone know what I must do to remedy this situation? Thank you Neal
