However it will also carry along with it all the garbage of previous installs. If you are happy to do a bit more work or currently have a very unstable system then it might be better to do a fresh install. To to this backup all important files and user data. Restart the computer using a boot disk (make sure you have drivers for CD support first), format the hard disk and run the install from the CD.	Guest (0)

I reckon clean install would be best, just takes a little more time(use fdisk if you want to change partition), if you have a CD writer you could temporarily plug into there CDROM IDE and copy a lot more files than a floppy, nearly the whole hard drive(since it is running 95). Remeber to run update after installing any OS in win98: Start/setting/update, 'product updates'.	Guest (0)
