Get rid of Win98 partition

[Dean J. Garrett]

We have a couple of PCs with a dual boot W2K Prof and Win98 partition. We'd
like to rid ourselves of the Win98 partition, and preserve the existing W2K
Prof partition. Does anyone out there have any clues about how to achieve?
Thanks!!

Most likely, if you are dual booting, 9x is on the C: drive as are your
system files. Changing the drive letter that NTx is installed to is not
for the faint of heart, so you may not want to consider consolidating
the partitions, so just delete the WINDOWS, Program Files, and TEMP
directory where 9x is installed. You will also have to modify boot.ini
in the root of that drive to remove references to 9x.

Before you delete anything, however, rename them first and run for a few
weeks to make sure nothing under W2K is effected.
