Uninstalling WinXP how to?

How do I uninstall WinXP? I want to uninstall and then install Win 98. When I attempt to install 98 I am told I can't while XP is running. The reason: I have XP pro and it is absolutely no good for the many games I play. I am fed up with attempting to install my games and being constantly told they are incompatible with XP. I am not a professonal and the many bells and whistles are useless to me. Please help.

Assuming you have a
98 boot floppy, boot with that. At the prompt, type fdisk and press enter,
delete the non-dos partition, create a primary dos partition, set it active
and exit.

If it says you have no non-dos partition your system is still fat32, delete
the primary DOS Partition, create a new one, set it active and exit fdisk,
reboot the system with 98 floppy in the drive and at the prompt type format
C: and press enter. Once format is
complete, change to your CD-ROM drive and with the 98 CD in the drive,
type setup, press enter and follow the screens.

If you don't have 98 boot disk with CD-ROM support, visit www.bootdisk.com.

NOTE: Whether or not 98 will work with your computer is dependent upon a
number of factors including whether or not you have the drivers for your
hardware and assumes your other software is compatible as well.
