    Hello and thanks for reading this:
    I upgraded from Win98 to Win2000Pro. I installed Win2000 in addition to Win98 as a safety valve in case my Win2000 install went crazy. I've been using Win2000 for a while now and feel safe with it. How can I uninstall the Win98 install so I can recover that HD space?
    Thanks

    Simplest way is remove both OSs and their partitions and reinstall 2k. The 2k boot files are with win98 on the root of c: and if you remove that partition or format it you will loose those files. If you're experienced with recovery console or wish to experiment with it, you can just delete the win98 partition (c: ) but then 2k won't boot and. you'll have to fix it.
