Removal of Windows 98

[Guest Gambo]

I have both Windows XP and 98 installed on an older Sony laptop. How do I

remove Windows 98? I have very little disk space available.

You didn't say if XP and 98 are in separate partitions. If they

are, boot into XP and delete the Win98 Windows and Program

Files directories. Copy anything you want to keep from the

Win98 Documents and Settings directory, and delete that

also. Edit the XP boot.ini file to delete the Win98 reference,

and in System, untick the OS display time box in startup settings.

Also, delete the Win98 page file. After you're done, defragment

the old Win98 partition to consolidate some of the free space.
