I fdisked using the me ebd. at the end it said it
didn't support the format command now i have no operating
system. the comp won't boot to a 98 ebd but will boot to
the A;\ WITH a me ebd. how do i eliminate me, format this
drive and re-install98? it won't even let me change
drives. it will show the E:\ then jump right back to A:\

Sounds like you tried to use the FORMAT /S command - which doesn't exist in
ME.
Just use the command "FORMAT C:" (without the quotes) from a 'With CD
Support" boot from your ME floppy.
