Hi!
I have Win XP but i don't like it and i would like to
return to Win 98...
How could I format and install win 98?
 
Assuming you have a
98 boot floppy, boot with that. At the prompt, type fdisk and press enter,
delete the non-dos partition, create a primary dos partition, set it active
and exit.

If it says you have no non-dos partition your system is still fat32, delete
the primary DOS Partition, create a new one, set it active and exit fdisk,
reboot the system with 98 floppy in the drive and at the prompt type format
C: and press enter. Once format is
complete, change to your CD-ROM drive and with the 98 CD in the drive,
type setup, press enter and follow the screens.

If you don't have 98 boot disk with CD-ROM support, visit www.bootdisk.com.

NOTE: Whether or not 98 will work with your computer is dependent upon a
number of factors including whether or not you have the drivers for your
hardware and assumes your other software is compatible as well.
 
Hey.. I'll be watchinbg for that responce... I'm not
leaving XP on my system. I've used it for two months now &
it's been one pain after another!
