i've got a w98/w2k dual boot (fat/ntfs),
i need to make a clean installation of my w98 os-partition,
and i'd like to delete all the w98 system files of the c:/ root directory.

i know some files are absolutely *NECESSARY* for w2k.
which files i should delete and which i should keep?
sorry for t e r r i b l e english.

here's the list of my root files:
autoexec.bat
boot.ini
bootfon.bin
bootlog.prv
bootlog.txt
bootsect.dos
command.com
confyg.sys
detlog.txt
frunlog.txt
install.log
io.sys
msdos.---
msdos.sys
netlog.txt
ntdetect.com
ntldr
scandisk.log
setuplog.txt
setupxlg.txt
sudhlog.dat
system.1st
timesmp.tmp
unwise.exe
unwise.ini
zg2jaezn.sys


TIA

Remember you need to boot up off the Win2K CDROM and select the repair option after you re-install Win98 as you will lose the bootmenu.
