Hi
My son has got a PC froma friend and it can boot up both XP homeand
Windows
98. I want to uninstall the 98 but leave the XP. Thi=s is to make a bit
more
space and perhaps speed things up a bit. How do I go about it if he doesnt
have the 98 disc for the PC?

Do this:
1. Boot into WinXP.
2. Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}.
3. Type set systemroot
and make a note of the folder name.
4. Identify the Win98 folder. It must be something other
than the name you noted in Step 3.
5. Rename the Win98 folder to Win98.delete.
6. Wait a week.
7. If all is well, delete the Win98 folder and purge your
recycle bin.

Note that deleting Win98 will NOT speed up your PC.
