Win98 is a pain.
You should backup all data.
Then format the drive.
Make 2 partitions or more on HD.
Make Win98 partition about 2-3Gb
use the rest to make one or more data partions.
Install Win98 from scratch.
If you have the partitions, use good old Norton Commander
to delete the Win98 directory after you do a backup
of the windows/command files into a dos directory.
You also need to get all .exe and .sys files from
the windows root dir. Put all that into that DOS dir.
Then edit autoexec.bat and config.sys to point to the
DOS dir to find the basic files. Make sure you find your
DOS CD-ROM driver.
If you have the space copy the win98 cd to a dir on a data
partition, then you don't need any CD-ROM drivers. Do this
before you kill the old windows installation.
Also, you should get Norton Utilities for Win98, helps
you the keep the system work longer.
Regards,
Coolknight
