Thank both of you very much. That's much clearer now. I'm pretty sure I understand now.
I gave my old computer w/98 windows to a guy who tried to install 2000 XP. He said it couldn't be done and I needed a new and bigger this that and the other. So I got a new computer. He then said that he wiped the old computer completely clean and re-installed 98 back in it. That's all it supposedly had in it. He said none of the programs that I had added were in it anymore. I tried to reinstall my bookkeeping program back in it to use for backup purposes but it just said something about no room on the harddrive (or similar to that. It's been a while since it was hooked up). And yet the computer had the program before.

Could the harddrive have really not been wiped clean? Even tho, I'm gathering from what you said merlin, it should have been able to overwrite data if it was still hidden there?

Edit: I meant that I understood all but the part about divide the disk size by two and eat a banana.
