Actually that's my friend's laptop [ No cdrom ], he has 3 harddrive 1st is the 3.2 gb main drive, 2nd is a external pcmcia hardrive & the 3rd is the 30gb [ NTFS ] external usb storage & he want me to install win98 [ I need to change the file system to FAT32 to install Win98 ] so I format the 30gb external drive from my desktop computer to FAT32 to install win98. when i format it to Windows XP the drive size didn't change. so i put back the drive to laptop. but during the scandisk [ file system check ] [ before installing win98 ] It seems so slow, I think there's something's wrong. i cancelled the installation of win98 & remove the file system, so i need to create a new FAT32 file system again to install win98. but after i formatted the 30gb, i look again for the file system & size of the drive using FDISK. i was shocked when i saw the 30gb drive became almost 8gb in size. so i remove the drive again from the laptop & format it again from my desktop computer using FAT32 & also try NTFS because i thought i could bring it back to it's normal size when i format it again in Windows XP. but i failed. i want to remove the file system again in DOS. but i think the drive will not be detected on Windows XP without any file system on it.

I need a suggestion please help!
