Ok, Tim. I have already done this from the A prompt(format c:/s). I had the
win98 folder on the bootable disk(CDROM). After this completes the
formatting, do I just restart and let it come back to the A: prompt and type
in A:\win98\setup and let it load from the win98 folder that I put on the
bootable CDROM?

Reboot, using your bootable floppy. The partition you just created
should now be assigned a "drive letter". That being the case, you can
run the format command from the floppy and direct it at the new
partition. Assuming the new partition was assigned C:

format c:

Once that completes you can run setup.exe from your Windows install CD.
