Hi All,
Could someone please remind me how to get Windows XP back
to the command prompt so that I can format the HD and
reinstall 98? Had installed XP on a system that doesn't
like it so I need to revert back.
Quick replys will be appreciated!
Cheers,
Dave

Use a Win98 Startup Disk, since you don't want to keep XP on the system.

Use a Win98 start-up disk and format the drive. If you have NTFS, you
will need to delete the Non-DOS partitions and create new ones.
