Hi,
I understand that you want to know whether it is possible upgrade from
Windows 98 Second Edition to Windows 2000. You are looking for information
on how to install Windows 2000.
Please note that it is not possible to roll back to Windows 98 once you
upgrade the operating system to Windows 2000. Back up all the data before
you proceed with installation or upgrading.
Please find the information on how to install the Windows 2000 operating
system.

| Picking up this thread, can I safely go from Win 98SE to Win 2000. If
| so, where do I find a step by step proceedure for formatting the HDD and
| installing Win2K from a CD?
| Further more, can I go back to 98 if not pleased w/2K?
| Thanx.
