Question about 'Uninstalling Windows'

I have a question about Uninstalling
Windows:
I have installed Windows 2000 in a dual boot environment. My primary OS is Win 98.
The only reason I did it was to learn more about the 2000.
Some of the files were corrupted during installation and thus I wasn't able to learn
at that time what I wanted.
I have had the chance to learn what I wanted from a friend's PC.
Is there any way I can uninstall the Windows 2000 from the dual boot environment
and revert back to a single OS?
Thank you,
Scott Roberts

A. First, make sure you backup everything you need just in case. The following procedure
should remove Windows 2000 from your hard drive:
1. Boot to Windows 98 with a Windows 98 startup diskette.
2. Type sys c: in MS-DOS prompt.
3. Remove boot.ini, bootsect.dos, ntldr, ntdetect.com and ntbootdd.sys (if exists)
from c:\
4. Delete pagefile.sys (usually on C:)
5. Format Windows 2000 partition
Make sure you copy all data files you need to a different partition.
