Complete Removal of Win '95 to Install Win '98

Argh!

Disappearing abroad for six weeks from tomorrow, midnight, and after loading up our laptop with things to keep us entertained, I managed to effectively kill Win '95 last night. All we have is a copy of Win '98, which would mean that in order to install it, Win '95 would have to be completely removed; otherwise, the install program would pick up on it and say, "Ah-ha! What *you* need is an upgrade edition!"... Or at least that's what happened with this computer when deleting the old copy of Win '98.

So... does anyone know how to completely eradicate the evil OS, or even a place where Win '98 upgrade can be downloaded, as I have the licence code...?

Help?
