I have fixed this problem before but been a long time. Reloading an old box with Win98 this box has a WD hard drive with that stupid EZ bullcrap on it. I booted to a floppy and fdisked,formated and then let Win98 take over. Well when it restarts the first time it says invalid boot disk like it can't see past the stupid EZ crap.


How do I get rid of that! When I did fdisk I saw an extended and logigal drive and delete everything. It is reporting a 2112 gig drive.


Well if anyone knows thanks. I can't d/load and run there EZ tool stuff as I don't have a Win9x box anymore.

TIA

FYI in the future if this happens again you could download the ezdrive software and use the ezdrive bootdisk to uninstall it without having to lose any other data on the hard drive (though one machine once wouldn't let me remove it).
