    Don't have the NT CD. I bought the PC at a yard sale. Runs good, tho. I want to upgrade to WIN98SE.

    Is it possible? I have the WIN98SE CD (couldn't find the regular anywhere).

    On this NT computer, you will need to find out what type of file system it has. FAT or NTFS. It it has NTFS, you will need to delete the partition(s) before you can install 98SE. 98Se will not work on a NTFS file system hard drive.
    To insure the partition is deleted, use Delpart, it will zap it for you.
    Then you would need to use Fdisk to create a new partition, reboot and then format.
    OR you may want to use this NT as something to learn from. If known, post which version of NT and the Service Pack that is installed, and one of the NT guys here may give you some thoughts on this.
