I'm sorry to tell you that windows 98 SE is really old.  Anybody that has a Back -up CD lying around will let you install it without objections.  maybe your computer is also so old that anything newer (ME, 2000, XP?? Could not even be installed).\nAsk your friends if you can borrow their 98SE. I wouldn't refuse anyone who wanted it..\nPLEASE BE AWARE that a computer so old to have windows 98, will not have the processor and mHz fast enough to install Windows XP.  I tried it with some if my IT friends to help me.  No go.

format c: /s /u\n\nbut you can only do this from a boot cd / floppy and it will wipe the boot drive clean.\n\nof course that assume a DOS format and not a NTFS format.

Easy use Killdisk wipe just the C partition.  Then let Windows setup format it in NTFS and prceed with Install.see sources

Nah, just format D:, assuming you don't have anything there you want. If you do, you'll either need to move what you want to keep off of it first, or you can just go through and delete it manually. As long as you're booting from C: it shouldn't be using any of the windows files on D:, so you wont have any problem deleting them.

Ok, this is not gonna make much sense at first.\n\nIf the C: drive is the drive your operating system is contained on, then trying to do a simple copy won't work, you will end up with a bunch of errors.\n\nTwo methods that I use:&#92;\n\nFirst use WinZip and Zip the entire contents of the C: Drive to the E: Drive - then you can unzip the file and put what you want on the E: Drive and delete it from the C: Drive\n\nSecond: Use an imaging product such as Ghost, image the entire C: drive and then image the E: drive from that image.\n\nBefore you do, realise that you cannot delete system files, program files and a lot of other files that you don't see in your Documents and Settings folder.\n\nGood Luck.

format c:/\nYou can also format the drive by just putting the xp disk into the drive and restarting the computer, when it asks which drive to install it too look at your options.  Delete the partition and create a new one.  Through the process you will format your drive.

Edit the boot menu (usually GRUB or LILO) to remove the other choice. You might want to research documentation on how to do this. Then, just format the drive of the one you want to remove.

First of all make sure that you do not have any valuable or important imformation on the E: and I: drives. If you do put onto the C: drive. Next make sure that the partitions do not do anything important like backup or system recovery. Next you have to click on the start button, then right click My Computer icon and a shrtcut menu should come up. Click on manage. Then click Computer Management. Double click on the Disk Management icon. It should display on hard drive with 3 partitions. Right click the E partition and click delete. Do the same with the other partition. After that you sholud have just one hard drive icon on My Computer. Rerember, all these steps cannot be undone. *Make sure you think about this long and hard before you do this* Oh, and by the way i'm assuming your XP Pro.

Your Windows XP cd has all you need on it.  Boot your system from the cd and then follow the directions for reformatting the partition that contains the operating system, usually the "c" drive.  There's no reason to use F-disk.  If you're asking this question you are not sufficiently experienced for F-disk.\nMake sure you have backed up everything that is important onto removeable media or a USB external drive and don't forget to save your favorites.

On XP or 2000, right click on My-Computer and choose MANAGE, then Disk Management, right click on Drive K: and choose 'change drive letter' and change it to I:\n\nbut in order to do that, the drive letter I: must NOT be in-use, so if it is, change that to something else first to free the drive letter and then follow the above ...

actually....you wont need any special software programs to accomplish this, if you know what you are doing..... you will have to install the 98 first on its own partition..I would suggest about 10 GB...then install the XP on its own partition, I would suggest about 20 GB...then you could have roughly 100 GB left over for various storage..... after it is all done, when you start up the machine you will have the option to choose the OS you want to boot to....good luck....read the knowledge base articles on multiple boot....

Download the utilities for you hard drive. They are available from the manufacture of your drives site. Zero the drive with there utility. Most computers will boot from the 98 CD - Set the boot order in the BIOS to boot Floppy drive first, Cd Next, and C (Hard Drive) Last. Some computers do not boot from CD and you will need a boot 98 SE boot disk- See sources. You may also have to get drivers for your computer that may not be on the windows CD - Go to you computer manufactures site - they usually have them. KillDisk will work if there is no utility for you drive - See Sources. When you go to put 98 in after wiping the drive you will have to let Windows format it - Go with large disk support - FAT 32.
