Will do, thanks for your help.

It has created a dual boot--not an upgrade. While there should not be
common locations, .dlls, etc., I suggest you post into an XP newsgroup to
get the best possible advice on getting rid of W98. I have not used the XP
boot manager so I don't feel qualified to provide advice. In fact, I no
longer dual boot--I run W98 in VirtualPC.

Yeah, first thing that comes up is a choice of which OS to boot into.
Seems
the XP upgrade hasn't actually upgraded, it's just put a second OS on the
same drive. Hmmmmm.

That's why I'm concerned about just deleting the Windows folder, incase
there are common locations, dlls etc.

Are you getting a boot manager screen that shows 98 as being a system

choice? If not, just delete the 98 folder.

I've recently upgraded a laptop from win 98 se to XP pro but the old
windows
98 is still there on the hard drive. How do I uninstall windows 98
without
effecting XP?
