Prompt: Invalid parameter /S
Why is that?????

To format the C drive, you should first copy the "format" external command in the boot disk. You cannot format directly in the C drive directory. Then set the boot from floppy disk in CMOS, insert the boot disk, restart the machine, and enter "format /s/q c:" at the A:\ prompt and press Enter. Here, /s formats it as a system disk, and /q is quick format. If the C drive is not formatted as a system disk, the hard disk will not be able to boot by itself and must rely on the boot disk!

What if my CD-ROM doesn't read discs? Can I install Win98 using the backup from drive D after formatting? Please, brothers, give me some advice!

To enter DOS, you need to have the format command in your directory to perform formatting. If you don't know the parameters, use the command: format /? to check.
