The boot time will decrease, but the performance of XP will not be helped by
removing Win 98.

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?
