IMHO, you will probably be much happier in the long run by doing a backup of their data, fdisking, and performing a clean install.

That being said, as long as the drives are currently formatted in FAT32, you could boot from a floppy, erase all traces of XP, then install 98/ME. You would still have to reinstall all applications and drivers, but you might save yourself the backup process.
