| 456038 | 2006-05-19 07:26:00 | Hi I am trying to reformat my old computer for my friend. It is running Windows 98 SE. My friend gave me his Windows 98 disk(I have no disk), which is not SE, and I can’t reformat because it’s a downgrade, or something along those lines. He also had a Windows ME upgrade disk, but that doesn’t reformat. If I get Windows 98 SE CD off trademe will I then be able to reformat with that? Thanks Mike |

| 456039 | 2006-05-19 07:28:00 | Are you doing a clean install, not trying to format from within Windows? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 456040 | 2006-05-19 07:41:00 | I want to delete everything, and reinstall Windows, so its fresh with nothing on it. | Tribomb (5547) | ||

| 456042 | 2006-05-19 08:23:00 | goto www.bootdisk.com and download a boot floppy or cd image for 98 then boot with that and choose 'start with cdrom support'...then at the a: prompt type in format c: then tap enter ........this'll WIPE the drive so anything you wanted to keep, product key/drivers/emails/addybook/favorites/documents etc you better have already saved aside........ then stuff in the cdrom ........change the drive to e: or d: or whateve the cd rom drive is then type in setup and tap enter then you'll be away with the install |
