Solve : uninstall win 98se? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>How do I uninstall win 98se?? It does not appear in the install/uninstall area. I reinstalled it, thinking it would just overwrite tself. Now I have hardly any hard drive space left, so I'd like to uninstall it, so ZI'd only have one copy in the computer.Use a windows 98 boot disk or similar and use the fdisk command to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/delete-karana-436574" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DELETE">DELETE</a> that partition (making sure you <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/get-11812" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GET">GET</a> the right one!).<br/><br/>You wont be able to use add/remove as it's for programs and not OS'. EXCEPT in the case of upgrading from Win 98SE to XP then it will appear in add/remove programs.OL d p O S T R <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/e-236626" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about E">E</a> V A mped .....u n i sa ta ll d w i <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/n9-247321" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about N9">N9</a> x f ro m w ha t Quote</p><blockquote>...

If you chose a different name for the folder (such as WIN98, or something like that) or, if Windows 98 SE was originally installed in a folder other than the default folder, then you now have two folders with Windows 98 files. <br/><br/>You may find the two operating system folders by using the Windows 98 search utility to find EXPLORER.EXE. If my hunch is correct, you will find it in two folders, one named WINDOWS and one named something else. Boot to the Windows desktop and delete the folder that has your old Windows 98 installation (don't worry, if you try to delete the current operating system folder from the desktop, Windows 98 will stop you and display a message that you aren't allowed to do that). <br/><br/>Let us know how it goes.<br/>Doc<br/>Make sure you have an OS disk which can install on a PC withought windows and boot Windows98 from the CD<br/><br/>When you go to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/options-238333" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OPTIONS">OPTIONS</a> clikc on 'Boot the computer withought CD Support' or something like that.<br/><br/>When you get to the console (Mine was 'A:/>'), type fdisk. <br/><br/>From there go to Delete Partition -> Delete Primary Partition and Alt+Ctrl+Del to reboot.<br/><br/>Once that is done pop in the new OS CD and reinstall.<br/><br/>HTH,<br/>NelsonThanks to all I shall try your suggestions<br/>Qsky48</body></html> | |
