I would prefer not to format the WIN98 partition...

would it be OK if I just remove from that partition both the \windows
directory (currently containing win98) and the \winxp directory
(currently containing the not working XP installation) and do a new XP
installation booting from my Win XP PRO CD?

Thanks,
Timur
