HELP! I need some computer help please.

[Devilboy28]

My computer came with Windows 98 and I installed Windows XP Pro a couple years ago. I want to go back to Win 98 but I can't uninstall XP! I've used the Win 98 restore CD that came with my computer but nothing happens. It's like XP refuses to be deleted. :mad: Any thoughts? I'm pretty retarded when it comes to this stuff. When I put the restore CD into the player and reboot, I choose the option to format my HD. Then, it goes through the motions but still starts in XP. Thanks for any help. If I can figure a way to delete XP then I should be able to figure the rest out. Maybe.

you need to reformat, which is much much easier to do with an xp cd, then install your 98, to tell you the truth you should stick with xp, there would be very few reasons to go back, if you do want to go back, take it to someone who knows what they are doing, chances are you will mess something up and it will end up there anyways

why are you wanting to go back? unless you want to free up 1.5 gig of memory. When yo upgraded to XP many yrs back, did you keep the old files? I was able to uninstall xp & go 98 before a few yrs back, but since then Ive delted those files & used the space for more better things
