New drive installed, and he used FDISK (not sure what flavor) to partition
it. Once I told him how to set up to boot from the IBM W98se recovery CD,
he was off and running.
Only oddity was that he had the impression that he had to make the C
partition 2 gig Fat16, which he did; however, the recovery process ended
up converting it to Fat32.
Subsequent problems have been limited to getting the apps reinstalled and
tweaked. A bit of a challenge for me to help since a) the machine was 250
mi away and b) I'm not that familiar with most of the W98 apps he uses.
Thanks to everyone on the list who helped.
