Question Uninstalling win2k

How do i uninstall win2k?
the reason is that i want to dual boot win98 but i cant figure out how to do it from win2k. so i want to uninstall win2k, install win98, and then add win2k again later. For after i uninstall win2k will i need boot disks for win 98, or just my cd.

i get the feeling i am being vague but any help and detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated.

I dont think there is a way to outright uninstall 2000 but you can make it useless the install 98 then reinstall 2000.

You can oly dual boot if you have 2 partitions. if you dont have 2 you have to make 2. If you want to do it for free you have to console your self to the point that your gonna loose EVERYTHING! so backup what you want.

First this first back everything up!
2nd: get a windows 98 boot disk with format, mscdex, fdisk, and the cd rom driver, you can do this on a friends machine by going to the add/remove programs control panel applet and making a windows startup disk there. Then copy (if they arent there) sys, format, fdisk, edit, and mem from thw C:\windows\command folder on to your disk.
3rd: use fdisk to partition your hard disk
4th: reboot
5th: type the command format c: /s
6th: type the command format d:
7th: goon to the windows 98 cd and install windows 98.
8th: install Win 2k

i have never dual booted with 2000 an 98 but i have with 2000 and 95 and found this to be a good reference (along with help from others)
also this and this are good references. (i spend alot of time on msg boads :evilwink: )

Life... Is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctoral gift that no one ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while your watching the game. Sure once in a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but its gone to fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you're left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts, which if you are desperate enough to eat leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper wrappers.
