Can I easily remove w2000 and revert back to w98?

To wipe the drive some ways include; boot a win98 startup disk, run fdisk
and delete all partition information found (as long as NTFS is primary). Or
boot the Windows 2000 CD-Rom or setup disks and when you get to the point,
delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions found, then abort the
install. Or use a utility named delpart. Once removed you can partition and
format the drive as you wish.

(The ftp server has been flakey the last few weeks. You may need to start in
the root and drill down to it)
