LLXX Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Delete the directory containing the Win98 files. By default it's \WINDOWS, although it can be different (you'll know if you changed it, since it's a definite decision done at install time.)

Kamus Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Delete the Program files dir too in C, you can delete other files and folders but don't delete files like bootfont.bin, ntldr, ntdetect.com, etc. Edit the c:\boot.ini and delete the Windows 98 line you have to keep something like this :[boot loader]timeout=10default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetectGood Luck!

T D Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Or just format the partition C: or E: or whatever 98 appears as on your XP install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
