Windows Xp Home Edition was preinstalled. I don't have have a copy.
I've been stuck in safemode with networking for 2 months. Black screen
on boot on normal mode.
I have a copy of windows 98. But it was never installed in this
computer.
WinXP was not an upgrade over Win98.
How do i uninstall XP and install Windows 98?
In your case, you will need to do a clean install of Win98.
Boot the computer with a Win98 boot disk. Use fdisk to delete the XP
partition and create a new one. Use Format to format the drive FAT32.
Use a boot disk that has cd-rom drivers on it. With Win9x, if there is
enough room on the drive I like to create a Win9x (Win98 in your case)
folder on C: and copy the cd contents to it. Then install from the hard
drive. So, assuming you've created and formatted your partition/drive
and booted with the boot disk:
c:\mkdir win98 [enter]
d:\[enter] {assumes cd-rom drive is d:}
d:\copy win98 c:\win98 [enter]
{when files are finished copying}
c:\[enter]
c:\cd win98 [enter]
c:\win98\setup [enter]
Go through the Win98 install and afterwards install drivers, programs,
etc.
Naturally you understand that everything currently on the
drive/partition will be gone.
