First you need to download and unzip all files to a floppy.

This will boot you to the C:\ prompt with CD Rom support. First you must use fdisk to delete all partitions on the HDD, then you must make a new primary dos partition. Which will give the drive a drive letter. Then reboot like it says. Then use the format command to format the HDD. Fdisk and Format.com are on the boot floppy.

If you do not know how to use fdisk or format commands you will need to research that first. I don't mind explaining it but I do not want to be responsible for any data loss you could cause by acidently typing the wrong thing. I guarantee this boot floppy will work for it is the one I use for my business to format computers.
well you dont have to worry about data loss i found the HDD in the trash...i guess i can look up the DOS commands unless you or someone else will just tell be which i really prefere someone else telling me but ill download the boot files and save it to a floppy. but i think i might nknow the commands but if i do come across a problem ill let yall know:P
