I have a question about Uninstalling 
Windows:



First of all may I ask can't you uninstall a completely clean non upgraded windows 
98 and wouldn't that end in the result of just dos left on your system?

Secondly my main Question is (providing I'm right about the above) can you do the 
same with windows 2000?  Well I know you wouldn't be left with dos but is there an 
uninstall function that'll leave you with your file system intact even if you need 
a recovery disk or a OS on dual boot to look at it.

Yes. A folder is a folder. The default for Win2k is winnt. Remove this and you have your programs and files as they were. Also delete the Documents and Settings folder where all user info is kept. This erases My Documents also which is different from 98 as in 98 it is directly on the root drive. Check the root drive also as there a few hidden system files belonging to Win2k.
