Guest Gambo Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 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. -- gambo

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.
