Old Windows backup Deletion

[Guest]

I had a new pc built and had them upgrade my OS from W98 to Xp Pro, but saved
my old HD contents (including windows file) as a backup on my smaller HD
which I really don't use anymore, but it is my F drive. I had 98 upgraded to
XP and then upgraded to xp pro. I have the full disk for 98 and the upgrade
disks for the later two. My question is, by deleting the backup on my old HD
to reclaim disk space, which will include the back up of the entire windows
98 file, harm or hamper the xp installations.

I hope that made sense.

Thanks

If you're dual booting, you might have to edit boot.ini; otherwise, format
away.

I have never heard the term dual booting, and I am not familiar with the
boot.ini file? However, I don't believe I am booting from the F drive backup.

Thanks

Then it won't hurt anything to delete the files on the F drive.
