Not too sure why you're posting here in WinME, since you had XP installed and wish to install Win98 - not really a connection other than you used to run ME

Ah, well, instructions here - you'll probably want a bootdisk too

You'll need to eradicate the XP installation, either by formatting the hard drive, or, if you had the drive setup as NTFS then you will need to use fdisk (or something) to remove that partition and create a FAT32 one, then format and install Win98

Computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps only weigh 1 1/2 tons.

"I posted here because before install xp.. my laptop was running windows me."

That.... makes no sense - should I take my Ford car to a Volkswagen mechanic because "I used to drive a VW bug"? No, not really.


"what am I missing?"


I will resist temptation and merely say that I'm not sure. A lot depends on whether you actually removed XP and did manage to create a FAT32 partition (if needed).

Also, that is just one method - another (more common) approach is to not bother creating folders and just run setup from the CD.

Of course, the hard drive still has to be "ready" for Windows 98 (properly partitioned & formatted)
