Why would you want to?


To do so:

1) Get a Windows 98 Start-up disk

2) Reboot with the disk in the floppy drive and run "FDISK". Then remove all partitions on the primary HD and then add partitions back in.

3) Reboot and enter your BIOS. Switch the CD-ROM ahead of all other devices for the start-up order.

4) Insert the Windows CD and reboot the system. You will be prompted to "hit any key" to start the Windows setup ... which will format the hard drive and install Windows.

because I don't have win 98 anymore, it has been in the trash can long time ago.

That is the easist way ... use the web site (from the other post) to download the boot disk files.
