If win2k and win98 are both installed on your C: drive you cannot run fdisk
to get rid of win2k

you may deltree the directory and take the entry out of boot.ini

No u can not do fdisk if both the OS are in the same
drive. I tried doing deltree-ing the dir before but some
of the files were being used by both the OS and it did not
work. Backup the info before u try anything my friend.

Are both 98 and 2000 installed on the same partition of
the c: drive or are they on different partitions? You may
not need to fdisk the entire drive. If they are on
different partitions you could just format the partition
that contains Windows 2000. Installing both on the same
partition of the drive is not recommended. Go to the
microsoft.com/support site and search the Knowledge Base
for "dual boot 98 and 2000", read articles 221061 and
