Hi,

Well, the simplest thing to do is to download a bootable floppy image of 
Windows 98SE boot disk. Get this file:

http://files.frashii.com/~bootdisk/file02/boot98c.exe

then unzip the file (ignore the error - the header is build with EXE to 
write to physical floppy disk, and we don't need it on Linux).

Then boot QEMU only with this floppy image (with -fda) and -hda <your 
hard disk image> and use fdisk and format as usual (don't forget: format 
c:/s). After you'll finish, restart QEMU without this floppy, but with 
the CDROM image, and boot from the CDROM.

Good Luck,
Hetz
