Yes, you can manually format and partition drives using FDISK in Windows 98. Follow these steps: First, locate the FDISK utility on your system—usually found in the Start menu under 'Accessories' or 'Disk Management.' Once installed, open it and select the drive you want to format or partition. You’ll be guided through creating partitions, allocating space, and formatting them according to your needs. If you’re new to this, start with simple tasks like freeing space or creating a basic partition before moving to more complex operations.

Use GParted to divide the disks, after that proceed with installing Windows 98. Don’t know the exact steps with the installer, so you might need guidance there.

No, GParted isn't available as a 1.44 MB floppy image. Your system specs show an older processor and storage setup, but the boot media you have is significantly larger than what GParted typically supports.

It's an old system, so you're left with two options: Ranish or Partition Logic. Both are floppy-compatible and offer 1.44MB Master Race.

Consider these lightweight distros for systems under 48MB: 1) Tiny Core Linux, 2) Slitaz, 3) DSL.

Partition Magic was the software I relied on before. It's unclear if it's still available; if not, I'd switch to Gparted and assume your system supports booting from a CD.

Consider using a Linux USB or CD to boot the system, then apply formatting via the Linux interface.

It doesn't even allow booting from a CDROM drive.

You installed the operating system using a bootable CD even though the original installation required a CD-ROM. The system started from the CD when a bootable version was available.
