Reformating a laptop

Hi all

I have an old IBM 365x which I would like to wipe and start again. It has a floppy but the CDROM is on a PCMCIA card. How do I get the 98se boot floppy to install the driver for it to access the CD to reload Windows?

hopefully u havent formatted it yet or you have another computer lying around or a friend with one, because u are going to need a boot disk. depending on what operating system u have, u should just be able to go into the control panel and select the add remove programs icon. when in there u should select the start up disk creator icon. After u have created it. U should then put the disk in your lap top and restart. you should know what to do from there
