Please, friends, help me out

In order to install the newly bought RED HAT LINUX8.0, I mistakenly clicked the “format all partitions” button.
But I didn't expect that halfway through the installation, because one program file was damaged, it failed to install properly. I was so mad I almost smashed my head into the wall and died.
And when I wanted to format the hard disk and reinstall WINDOWS98, the hard disk format had already become EXT16, so I couldn't use “FORMAT” to format it back! (I don't know what method to use to change it back!) This left me having to look everywhere for experts to help me.
When I think of the files and programs on the hard disk that I painstakingly downloaded, all killed off by a moment of my own impulse. (I really liked LINUX too much, that's why I had this kind of impulse.) And now I really want WINDOWS98 back, to return to the original one I loved most.
I wonder if any friends can solve this little problem of mine. Who can help me???

Use diskman (now called diskgen) or the DM9.56 bilingual universal edition, either one will do.

I suggest you use SPFDISK to partition and format, and also use it as a multi-system boot loader. That way you can use 98 and also Redhat. My own machine has several operating systems installed too :)

You should read more about this stuff before installing

Just delete the partition and repartition it, that's all. You can use FDISK too—delete the non-DOS partition, then recreate the partition

When I install LINUX, I always use PQ to carve out a blank space for it…………
