Guest GTT Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Can someone outline the steps that I need to take to uninstall win 98 and the boot screen that gives a choice. W98se is on my C: partition and Xp is on my D: partition Can I simply erase the windows folder on C:? I think I was previously advised to rename C:windows to say c:windows98 and wait a while to make sure nothing was amiss. I seem to recall there is a batch file boot something that I also need to amend. I also am giving this computer to my wife to use. How do I change the reference from my name :ie Gordon to Judy?

Start -> Run -> enter "notepad d:\boot.ini" -> Find the line that has "win 98", delete the line, Save and restart your system to see if it is done.
