I need help getting rid of XP

I used a friend's Recovery Disk to fix my computer. It installed XP on it,
and I want my Win 98 back. HOW do I do it? HELP.

XP and Win98 use different file partitioning systems.
You may be OK if you boot DOS from a floppy and
use FDISK to re-start from scratch i.e. remove all
XP partitions and set up Win98 partitions.

Don,

BLESS YOU!

OK, now a bit more would be wonderful: How do I boot DOS? I don't have one
of those "emergency" disks, which is what I presume you are talking about,
and I never got DOS disks when I got the computer.

Again, thank you. I was so frusterated and, frankly, humiliated by this
process.
