Either boot to the cd or the four boot disks then to the cd pick clean install and when it looks for where you want to put it pick the drive or partition and choose remove partition and then format to fat32 (if going to be running w98)then after it completes format shut off the computer and then when you restart take out the W2K cd and put in the w98 one.
