Looks like you will have to do a complete clean installation, you didn't say
what resources the machine has
but that will be the deciding factor for what OS you put on it,

If 95 runs on it OK then almost certainly 98SE will, But W2K does need a
fastish processor and an adequate amount of ram, Also when installed will
take up approx 1.6 Gig of hard drive space for a full installation

Good Luck
