Removing win98se from dual boot with XP


Recommended Posts

Posted

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.
