Hi, doe´s anyone know how to remove win2000, and return to win98 with out having to chooes os in the start?
I really need need this

Your post implies you have a dual-boot W2K/'98...?
Prsuming this so...
Boot from a '98 boot-disk;
type:sys c:
at the a:>\ prompt, and then press Enter.
Remove boot-disk and you'll boot to '98 only.
Boot up to '98;
go to Explorer;
locate the W2K folder;
delete the W2K folder;
locate (in the C: system partition) the W2K boot/start-up files;
delete W2K boot/start-up files;
defrag the HD - to tidy up the drive...
Job done.If you had W2K as NTFS then the " sys c: " routine above 'will' set the boot-loader to '98 only (you will only be able to boot to '98); but you will not be able to locate/delete the W2K NTFS area(s) from within '98. If this is your situation, the link below should cover it for you; if not post back and we'll give the 'fix'.
For future reference (and for others 'out there too') the following link covers most issues re' removing W2K from dual-boots etc...
