This is dumb but I have to ask. Someone has told me that to load Win98 you need to format the drive first. I can't for a moment think of why anyone woulld have to format a drive just to install Win98. The person in question is moving from Win95 to Win98 and in the outside probability that there is an issue I thought I had better ask before I stick my 2 cents in.

Is there some problem that I have not heard of?
