You can't uninstall Windows, unless you did an "upgrade" install from Windows 3.1.

Please describe what you're trying to do. Are you trying to clean the hard drive completely, and then install W95 as if the hard drive were new, or are you trying to preserve the data on the hard drive and just install a completely fresh copy of W95?

What about programs already installed on the hard drive -- are you trying to preserve them, or can they be wiped too?
