How do I remove > Windows 98? 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.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)
Guest Dan Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Re: Windows 98 removal 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> "Don Phillipson" wrote: > "Gambo" <fgambeski@aol.com> wrote in message > news:4F5B077A-61AF-45B3-9A02-76CBD74F81F3@microsoft.com... > > > My laptop has both Windows 98 and Windows XP installed.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Re: Windows 98 removal 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 -- Gary S.
