    What is the correct order for preparing a hard disk for Windows 98?

    Is it fdisk, reboot, format

    or fdisk, format, reboot?

    Which is correct, please?

    TIA

    You must reboot after useing fdisk for DOS to see the new/changed partitions.
    If the hdd is for loading the system on be sure to make the primary partition Active, if it is for storage do not make any Active partitions.

    Correct Order Format

    Fdisk Tells You to reboot
    Often you can format after creating the partition
    I would reboot just to be on the safe side
