Greetings,

Assuming it's a standard configuration using the NTLoader (Windows 2000) boot menu, you can
simply remove the Windows (98) folder within 2000 to get rid of it (and Program Files,
assuming it's not shared with your 2000 install).

he might have it on a second partition... in that case
what partition do you have win98 on C or D ?

Jonathan, I congratulate you for helping him and not complaining that this
is not the correct group for that question.

I would do the same.
