How do I remove old win and dual boot?

I installed Win 2K Pro on my laptop and either I missed it ( I was watching TV) or it never asked me. I didnt want a Dual boot with the previous OS, Win98.

How do I get rid of the dual boot so it boots right into Win 2K?

How do I remove the Win 98 files, I need the space, the laptop has a small hard drive (6 GB)?

THANKS!

 

By editing BOOT.INI from root drive and remove the command line.

You can remove win98 OS by using disk management fron win2k.

Hopefully it help U.

 

Thanks.
The boot.ini was good, I found what I needed.

The disk management was not what I was looking for. I can change the name of the drive, change drive letter and so on but I did not see anything about removing the older version of Windows.

Any other ideas? Anyone?

 

Assuming you have the operating systems installed to different folders (probably Windows for 9X and WINNT for 2K), you can just delete the entire Windows folder, leaving only the system files for 2K. That will get rid of the majority of 98 and you should run fine.

I'm assuming from the fact that jmlooi's suggestion of using the disk manager didn't help you that both operating systems are on the same partition. But even if they aren't, 98 would probably be on C: if it was installed first and 2K will have places some essential boot files there so if you remove that whole partition, 2K will no longer start.

 

Thanks Newt. They are both on the C: drive and you had the folders correct. I figured I could just delete the windows folder, but I wanted to make sure.

I guess I have to reinstall a bunch of programs now.
