If your dual-boot software is standard WinXP, you will no
doubt get better advice in a WinXP newsgroup. If I wanted
to remove any other OS from a WinXP PC I would first try
the DOS command
FDISK /MBR
which rewrites the Main Boot Record so as (I think) to
wipe any Win98 dual-boot software: (but WinXP does
not use FDISK.)

Interesting, there has been a sudden increase here in users wanting to ditch
Windows 98 and asking us how but should we ask them why. <evil grin>

Re: Windows 98 removal

You really need to ask in the Windows XP support groups. The following link
should open your default newsreader to the Windows XP General group.
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp

Or, if you witch to continue with the Microsoft Support Communities
interface,
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/...rosoft.public.windowsxp.general&lang=en&cr=US

TinyURL for the above link is: http://tinyurl.com/yvkr9

Did you consider the answer you received the last time you asked this
