First off, assuming XP was installed in NTFS format, 98 won't install without reformatting to FAT32. Reformatting will remove all your personal data. Whatever you want to keep should be saved to a burned cd or dvd before the reformat. All of your programs will need to be reinstalled as there is no way to do an over-the-top going from XP back to 98. My Comments: Your welcome Panama Red, Iam aware of the fact that windows98 can only be installed on FAT32 and this is the reason why I installed windowsxp over FAT32 partition so that it would not give me much problem during conversion back to Windows98. Dear friend, I want to ask you something, you have mentioned that If I had windowsxp over NTFS partition and inorder to convert it back to windows98, I have to reformat NTFS to FAT32 since win98 can only be installed on FAT32 and this can delete my personal data. Now I want to know that will this reformatting from NTFS to FAT32 delete my personal data on D: and other drives as well or it will only delete data on C:? I think this reformatting will only delete that data which is present on C:. Please clearify this point. Your Reply: Not sure who the people are on this forum that you're referring to that prefer 98 to XP. glc prefers 2000 to XP but 2000 is way better than 98. Maybe you should consider a dual boot configuration with 98 on one partition and XP on another. Then you'd have DOS available when/if you need it and the much more stable XP for daily tasks. Just my opinion. My Comments: Please re-check my previous post, I didnot say that people were preferring windows98 over windowsxp, what I was stating is that I have seen people in this forum complaining about windowsxp more than windows98 especially about the service pack 2. Iam enjoying this discussion.... Regards,
