1. Make sure you are formatting with the Win98 FDISK & Format, as the older
dos/win95a will only see 2gb partitions max (fat16 limit).

2. When it ask you if you want large disk support, be sure to answer YES
(the default is no). If you don't you are stuck at 2gb, fat16.

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 ?
