If your dual-boot software is standard WinXP, you will no

doubt get better advice in a WinXP newsgroup. If I wanted

to remove any other OS from a WinXP PC I would first try

the DOS command

FDISK /MBR

which rewrites the Main Boot Record so as (I think) to

wipe any Win98 dual-boot software: (but WinXP does

not use FDISK.)

Interesting, there has been a sudden increase here in users wanting to ditch

Windows 98 and asking us how but should we ask them why. <evil grin>

You really need to ask in the Windows XP support groups. The following link

should open your default newsreader to the Windows XP General group.

http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp

 

Or, if you witch to continue with the Microsoft Support Communities

interface,

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.general&lang=en&cr=US

 

TinyURL for the above link is: http://tinyurl.com/yvkr9
