You can probably find something here (http://www.bootdisk.com/) or here (http://www.google.com/).

well you can format the harddrive that windows is on... but i don't think the school would take kindly to that... i would just adjust the BIOS boot priority to load from A:\ before c:\ and always have a dos boot handy

I spoke with him on MSN for a few minutes and he told me that he tried doing a boot into DOS, boot into Win98 then logoff into DOS mode, etc. and no matter how he did it he couldnt run fdisk to make a new partition.

Either he's doing something wrong or the PC is screwed up.

usually fdisk forces a reformat (loss of data) on the entire drive before partitioning... is this his computer or the schools? he'd be in deep sh*t if i reformatted a school computer

Yeah but if the School Tech can be shown that the computers skrewed... then it could potentially earn brownie points.
