Seems like there will be problems arising if you do that. You should make it easier by just formatting. It isn't that difficult and besides it'll be a new and fresh install of the Operating System. Just remember to make a startup disk.
Hope that helps.

I have formatted my hard drive once before, to go back to 98SE from ME. But the problem was that i am using a COMPAQ PRESARIO LAPTOP and to get the Driver ETC for the Mouse-Pad, and the Screen to work ok i couldn't find them manually on the RESTORE DISCS that came with the PC, so i used the RESTORE DISCS as they reload all Drivers ETC, BUT thats when it LOADED ME BACK OVER the 98SE i tried loading previously. SO i was back to square 1 again.
Any help/instructions would be appreciated... Corey........
