There is 4 computers (workstations) at the shop that are dual boot I suppose
because of buying upgrade versions of XP Pro. The other OS is 98 which I know
will not run on ntfs. So the question is if I use command prompt safe mode to
convert to ntfs what will happen to the 98 Os and programs installed on it.
Will it be deleated or be unknown amount of corrupt data taking up space on
hard drive. Or is there a way to delete 98 before converting to ntfs.

Thanks

If you convert the boot parition to NTFS then you will
no longer be able to boot the machine into Win98.

Since you did not tell us where the various partitions
reside, it is not possible to tell you how to delete Win98
prior to the NTFS conversion.
