My hardrive lost it's format so what I did was reformat the hardrive by the boot floppy and manually inserted system files by the command in DOS. After doing that restored the partition by using the FDISK command. Then tried to reload the OS by the setup command and it scans the registry and then it comes back with an error that says "Windows requires 7,000,000 bytes available" Then I tried to reformat again then when I typed the format command it only formatted 8,000,000 and quickly finished. What should I do or is my hardrive just fried?

Hi,

It seems that the Partition went a big wrong.
You will have to use FDISK again to delete the partitions and create a new Primary Partition.
