Help Help Help win crash

I tried to install win xp pro over win 98 but it didnt go
well anyway. someone told me to unistall xp reinstall 98
and then install xp. when i unistalled xp i got a blue
screen that said "fatal error has occurred 0167:bff7bf18"
Now windows doesnt load at all and this blue screen keeps
comming up all the time. I see the win 98 logo and it
seems to load but then it goes to this error. I tried
booting from the cd to install win 98 again but all it
says win 98 is installed already and it exits setup. is
there anyway i can get 98 back or install another version
of windows like xp or 2000 even if i lose everything. i
have it all backed up.

*Warning - you will lose all data*

Boot to the xp cd and follow the on-screen instructions. The cd is bootable
and has all the tools to format and install.

Or,

Boot to a win9x floppy boot disk, run Fdisk, delete partitions, create new
partitions, reboot to boot disk again, run format, (or reboot to xp cd,
format, install xp). Get boot disk here: www.bootdisk.com
