I tried several times and each time I deleted all what I could do in the
right order: logical first and principal the last one.
I know this hard disk could have only one partition (2,5 gig). One of the
old partition had 2 gig and the other had 500 megs.
Do you have a solution ?

When I tried to format that one partition, the computer doesn't take all
the space avalaible for that. It took the same space I had with the old
principal partition.
What can I do ? I want to install Windows 98.
Thank you,
Are you sure you completely deleted both partitions ? Primary, Logical in
extended, and Extended ? Did you check the Partition info afterwards ?
How big is the HDD ? What size partitions did it have ?
