Hi! Pete

    I'm not very sure if understand well what you want?  If you just wanted
to have WinNT on your machine then you should have formatted your HD when
your were prompt by NT installation!!
    IF you want to go back to your old Win98 as it was before it is very
simple you just delete all folders belonging to Winnt then at the Dos prompt
you type sys c:     this will remove the option you have at the begining
for WinNT or Win98  and will restart as usual.

                           Martin    Good luck!

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.
