Deleting XP

[Guest]

Hi, my name is Isabelle.
I have a stand alone computer pentium II that is not hooked up to the
internet and is jused just for wordprocessing. On this computer i have both
windows XP and windows 98. Windows XP is really slow and I'd like to delete
it.
I've tried going through 'add/remove programs' but that doesn't help. Any
advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
Belle

Normally, assuming Win9x/Me is installed to the C: drive, you'd
just have to boot from your Win98/Me startup diskette, type "SYS C:."
Then delete C:\NTLDR, C:\NTDETECT.COM, C:\BOOT.INI, C:\BOOTSEC.DOS, and
C:\PAGEFILE.SYS. Delete or reformat the WinXP directory/partition, as
applicable. Remove the startup diskette and reboot.
