I finally have my new hard drive formated. I plan on putting 10 gigs towards 98 and the 90 other gig s of space to xp. First though, I have found that my 98 has corrupt files. What I want to do is uninstall 98 and then reinstall 98 on the old drive before I disk copy it into my hard drive. I thought that I did it once before without losing any files or programs.
thanks

Open the Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs,look thru Pane to see if the unnstall files for Win 98 are listed,highlight and click the Remove button
If you donot have the unintall option then you will need to use FDISK to wipe the hard drive
Insert startup disk and boot without cd-rom support
At the command prompt type FDISK,enable large disk support
Select option (3) to delete partition,follow the onscreen instructions,after creating partition,reboot
At command prompt type FormatC:,after format is complete reboot and now choose to run setup with cd-rom support
