Backup all files important to you elsewhere (off the machine.)
Go to http://www.bootdisk.com/ and download/create a Windows 98SE boot
diskette.
Boot with your Windows XP CD...
Follow through like you were going to Install Windows XP up until it asks
you which partition to install on.. DELETE ALL PARTITIONS.
Reboot with your Windows 98 CD/Floppy diskette..
Install Windows 98SE.

* That is if you did not do an upgrade with Windows XP and it is not in the
Add/Remove programs control panel.
