If you reformat your hard drive and install Windows 98, you'll void
your new computer's warranty and forfeit any free technical support.
Windows 98's product life cycle is over. It is unlikely that it has the hardware
drivers necessary to support your new computer's internal hardware.
It would be best to stay with Windows XP and learn to use it.

You can use a windows 98se boot disk and delete your
Click to expand...
partitions then reformat your hard drive. Then you can
reinstll windows 98se. The only problem you will run into
is if the computers hardware was created for windows xp
only, you will not be able to find drivers, audio,
vidio,etc.
