Only if your daughter had used an upgrade cd and kept the original Win98 files when prompted.. Otherwise, no you can't downgrade an operating system install without formatting..

You will also have to Fdisk in this case to remove the non-DOS (NTFS) partition before you can fdisk to set a Primary DOS partition and then format that partition to install 98..
