I want to fdisk Windows XP pro an reinstall windows 98, does anyone here know who to remove Windows XP?

The easy answer is to just start the install process, then delete the existing partition(s) and create a new one..

I tried that but it wants me to reinstall Windows XP pro it won't let me install 98.

Then I'd use the Windows 98 CD instead of the Windows XP cd. I think that it gives you the same choice (it's been a while since I needed to install Win98).

You may have to fdisk the boot partition
to do that you may need a bootable floppy with FDISK on it and then

Code:

FDISK /MBR

And then repartion as required
This purges any c!!P from the boot record.

Yay FDisk !
Use carfully or the F will not stand for Format !
