heh, boot a win98 startup disk, get access to the hard drive/partition in question in DOS, start deleting key directories and files, such as C:\WINDOWS (if win98 etc), Program Files (not sure if you can reuse the programs but I'm sure you'd have to reinstall them anyway so its all in the registry or something), Best bet is to check microsofts support website and search for 'uninstalling Windows 98' or whatever OS you got on there, they should then list other key files tha will lay around the root of the hard drive. | |

but, big problem there, if the entire drive was initially created as one partition, im pretty sure u cant seperate it using windows or dos, ud need something like partition magic | |

create partition, move all files to the partition drive, and format the other part of the HD with just windows on it. problem solved. | |
