How do you downgrade from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows 98 SE?

In: Windows

Answer

If U installed windows XP in this method u can downgrade. That is, if U upgraded Windows XP from Windows 98Se means u can downgrade windows XP by removing Windows XP in Control panel ,add/remove programs. Then the first Operating System (windows 98Se) will come.

Answer

I've had to do this many times at my work. The best way is to boot with a 98 bootdisk then use fdisk to wipe the hard drive. Then restart the machine with the bootdisk and 98 cd in it. Choose the option to run setup from the cd and then follow the instructions. Setup will format the hardrive and then restart to begin installing the OS.

Why in the world would you want to install 98. Microsoft no longer provides support for 98 and XP SP2 is far superior to 98 in the first place. It is a no brainer. Keep XP SP2 and forget the archaic 98.
