well that might be problematic sincec you have winxp on drive #2. If you want, you can erase win98 but you have to keep the partition it is on.

I would recommend you get Powerquest Partition magic, but it's possible without it.

Another question: can you see the drive with win98 on it when you are using WinXP?

Okay, step one is to find a file on C: called boot.ini.

It will look something like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
Windows 98

First make a backup of this file. Then you want to delete the line after [operating systems] that has windows 98 in it. Next, make sure the default= line has same info as the windows xp line under operating systems. Then change timeout to =0.

After doing this (and making sure that XP boots properly) you can delete c:\windows without fear.

Heh, yeah it might just be easier to start from scratch as far as windows is concerned.
