Undo Ghost
A friend of mine recently purchased a used Compaq(Pentium 1) laptop. It runs quite slow even for a Pentium. With only 16mb of RAM and a pentium 120mhz processor it runs painfully slow. Part of the problem (other than 16mb of ram and slow processor). Is that it's trying to run Windows ME. I'm not sure of the exact specs but I don't think ME was meant to run on a machine this slow. Apparently the previous owner "ghosted" the Windows ME over the Windows 95 that was originally there. Ever since it's been operating at a snails pace. Is there anyway to undo(or reverse) the ghost. It has some good programs that I'd hate to lose on it. Last resort is that I'd format reinstall windows but I'd rather not if possible. I'm not familiar with Norton's Ghost so any help would be appreciated.

Nope, once a drive is ghosted, it's perminent. You'll have to do a reformat and installation of win95B if you want it on there.
I wouldn't even try to run win98SE on that machine.
