How do I uninstall to get back to W98?
NTFS causing problems

If you could unintall windows 2000, the disk would remain NTFS as there's no way of changing NTFS back to Fat unless you use Partition Magic or a similar 3rd party tool and as Windows 98 can't read NTFS, you've got no chance, i'm afraid. gary.

You use the boot disk with WIN98 to come to command prompt level.

Once on command prompt, do an fdisk with command line options of mbr to remove the master boot record:

fdisk /mbr

Reboot and let WIN98 proceed with its usual install process.

Hope this will work

Use partition magic to convert from NTFS to FAT32. PM is one of the few utilities that can reliably accomplish this task. If NTFS is the only hangup, Windows 2000 uses FAT32 just fine.
