Martin, I think Pete wanted windows NT to upgrade his Windows 98 to Windows NT. This can not be done. Only Windows 2000 Professional can do this, and this works about 60% of the time at best. If you install Windows NT on a Windows 98 system and install NT in the Windows Directory it will read the system.ini and win.ini and any other ini files, but it will not read the Windows 98 registery and upgrade it to Windows NT. You will have a Dual boot - Windows and Windows 98 option. To change back to Windows 98 - Boot to Windows 98 and format a floppy with the /s option and copy the sys.com up to the floppy - boot with the floppy and type SYS C: from the A: prompt - Remove floppy and reboot computer. From Explorer remove the WINNT folder. Jonathan "Martin Lanciault" <mlancio@progression.net> wrote in message news:x5HH4.1393$7M5.68147@wagner.videotron.net... > Hi!
