Poor fools :^(
At least try to install the Caldera DR-DOS package as opposed to the MS
one ...

It's ugly ... ;^)
Just boot from your DOS installation disks, run the FDISK program (I can't
recall if it will do this automatically or not - you may have to exit to
the DOS prompt with the F3 key (again, that's the way I remember it, not
necessarily the way it is).
You will have to create a DOS partition (possibly by first removing other
partitions) and mark the DOS partition as active or bootable (I think the
DOS terminology is "active").
Run the DOS "FORMAT C:" command and reboot from the DOS boot/install disk.
The rest is obvious.
I'm sure that you'll know how to install windoze from there.
