Uninstall Windows 2000 Professional

I need to uninstall Windows 2000 on my desktop, and have
followed article 268989.

However Windows 2000 does not show up under Add/Remove
programs.

Any ideas how to uninstall and go back to Win98?

My desktop is not able to support enough RAM to run
Win2000.

To wipe the drive, some ways include; boot a win98/ME startup disk, run
fdisk and delete all partition information found (as long as NTFS is
primary). Or boot the Windows 2000 CD-Rom or setup disks and when you get to
the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions found, then
abort the install. Or use a utility named delpart. Once removed you can boot
the Win98/ME CD-Rom or restore CD-Rom to start your install. Make sure you
have win9x device drivers available before hand.

You cannot uninstall Windows operating systems. Will have
to format the system. If it were me, I would buy a second
bar of RAM or get a large bar. Good Luck.
