| 18642 | 2001-09-11 10:25:00 | Thanks for your prompt reply to initial query on 4/09/01 I have transferred all applications to the D: partition of my HD and am about to uninstall the upgrade of Win 98 then uninstall Win 95 from the C: partition. Should I format the C; partition before installing Win 98 full version CD, and if so will it boot ok and follow with the setup automatically or do I need to use a boot disk? Or don't format and just install Win 98? Thanks again for your assistance. |

There is no need to uninstall windows since its being wiped anyway, just format C:. If you don't uninstall, then you will still have a mess of old win95/98 files on your computer. When you format (from a boot disk) use the /S switch. Something like: FORMAT C: /Q /S |
