You can reformat the hard drive and then install Windows 98. You'll need the Windows
98 registration code, which should be on a sticker attached to the W98 manual that
you kept.
Please e-mail me directly for detailed instructions. There's no need to bore the
rest of the people in this forum with information that's either "old hat" or has
been posted umpteen times already.
When you e-mail me, please tell me whether you found that registration code or not,
and whether the computer with W98 already installed on it can be brought back to
life briefly, to get the code off it.
Give me a hardware inventory (motherboard, video, sound, LAN card, modem, etc.) so
that I can find the proper drivers for you.
I won't be able to e-mail you tomorrow (11 Nov -- not at the office that day).
