I can not get onto the internet on that computer. I also do not have the
drivers disks so I would really rather not format if I can get away with it.
Is there any way to type in a command in DOS to remove the windows directory?

Is XP installed on a fat 32 or a NTFS partition? If fat 32, use a w98

drive clean, use fdisk to create a fat 32 partition and format the
partition,

Zap or Wipe freeware will remove all partition information so you can start
over fresh with FDisk. Download it he

I recently installed xp (not an upgrade) I need to remove it to reinstall
98.
I am stuck at the activation screen. So I need to remove it in DOS. Any
ideas on how I do that?
