I need to reformat my computer to delete all my files and put Windows 98 back
on the computer so my colleague can use it. Can you please advise how I do
this? I am currently running windows xp pro.

Thank you

Put your XP CD in the drive, begin an installation, select
to reinstall the same installation with a deletion of all
partitions and after the drive has been formatted FAT32,
abort the install.

Then use your W98 CD to install W98.
