linux to win98
I have a pc that had previously been loaded with various linux distributions. The problem is in its current state whenever it is booted up there is a message saying "GRUB loading". I have a copy of windows 98, which I would like to load up onto this machine. How do I go about wiping the computer clean to install 98? Any help would be appreciated.
(not sure whether or not this belongs in the linux board or this one) |

Boot with win98 floppy and repartition and reformat the drive for windows.

Nope, that won't remove the GRUB boot loader. You have to boot with the 98 startup disk and type FDISK /MBR at the A prompt.
