Two OS by accident, how do I delete it!!

[Guest]

I tried to put windows 2000 over my windows 98, and I must have messed up, at
boot up I have a choice of 2000 or 98!! So forget 2000 I want to delete it
off. How do I do that? Do I have to format my whole drive to get that off?

Normally, assuming Win9x is installed to the C: drive, you'd just
have to boot from your Win98/Me startup diskette, type "SYS C:." Then
delete C:\NTLDR, C:\NTDETECT.COM, C:\BOOT.INI, C:\BOOTSEC.DOS, and
C:\PAGEFILE.SYS. Delete or reformat the Win2K directory/partition, as
applicable. Remove the startup diskette and reboot.
