I have had it with winXP. I'm used to dos, and i cant seem to find out how to uninstall this operating system. Its not an upgrade, its a fullinstall. I want to go back to using ME or 98se. Anyone have the steps handy?
Webpage? anything?
Kthx

er um what about using 98 or me start up disk fdisk then partition then format or just format
if fat 32 then reload new os?

if that doesn't work for you get partition magic or partition commander as they will format/repartition also.

you said can't boot to another harddrive er yep thats because the bootloader is loaded for xp

fdisk/mbr at dos prompt 3x after putting in the 98 or me boot disk will cure that then fdisk repartition to make sure its fat 32 then format reload new os

hope this helps
