i think your supposed to format the harddive after you fdisk,
at the a prompt try typing setup

Cavill is right.

First fdisk, then format. Restart, using your win boot disk. It will also load tools to a virtual drive (usually d which pushes your other drives to the next drive letter.

Example--If your cdrom was d: drive, it will be e: drive. So, at the a:\ prompt, you would type e:\setup.
