If you have a Win98 or WinME CD, you can use the upgrade version to do a clean install. Boot from the CD, start the install, during the process you will be prompted for the Win9X CD to verify that you qualify for the upgrade, put in the CD, let it verify, then you will be prompted for the install CD again to complete the install.
