Bootable floopy question

mykrob · 04-15-2005, 12:45 PM

Hey-
i need to create a Win98 boot floppy for formatting a drive on a friends "very old pc".
Can someone help me with making this boot disk using LInux? Or, can you point me to a bootable linux floppy that will allow me to totally wipe a hard drive via command line?

on a side note, what would that command line be for linux?

thanks,
-myk

got it figured out. I found a WIN98SE.IMG file online and extracted it to the floppy using:

Code:

dd if=/homw/myk/Desktop/WIN98SE.IMG of=/dev/fd0

works fine.
