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.
