I have an older PC (PII 400) running windows 98 that I would like to install
XP home on so I can network with my newer computer running xp.

I am trying to format the HD so I can install XP but when I type "format:c"
at the A prompt, I get the message "required parameter missing".

What am I doing wrong? Am I going about this the right way; cleaning the HD
by formatting it then installing XP (from my newer computer)? Do I need to
buy upgrade software for 98 to XP? I have saved anything I want to from the
old computer.

Thanks for your help in advance.
