[jimmyrules712]

Because I tried to install window 2000 thn changed my mind, when I boot my computerit gives me the opion of loading windows 98 orthe windows 200 installation (which is not completed).

how do I remove the windos 2000 option so it boots straight to 98?

If you aren't using any drive-overlay software (like EZ-Bios, or other Ontrack utilities) -

Boot from your Win98se CD "start computer with Cd-rom support" (or boot from a bootable Win98se diskette), and from the command prompt, type

fdisk /mbr

Another option would be to run an over-the-top of the Win98se http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=70846

Then you'll have to decide what to do with the Win2k partition (if you made one), or clean up the Win2k files left over from your partial installation. If you kept things on FAT32, it shouldn't be too difficult.

[ Well, I suppose a third option would be to simply edit your boot.ini file - you can use Notepad to do this http://www.anandtech.com/guides/viewfaq.aspx?i=109 ]

edit: i just noticed the part you said about "or boot from a floppy"
