If your dual-boot software is standard WinXP, you will no
doubt get better advice in a WinXP newsgroup. If I wanted
to remove any other OS from a WinXP PC I would first try
the DOS command
FDISK /MBR
which rewrites the Main Boot Record so as (I think) to
wipe any Win98 dual-boot software: (but WinXP does
not use FDISK.)

Interesting, there has been a sudden increase here in users wanting to ditch
Windows 98 and asking us how but should we ask them why. <evil grin>

should open your default newsreader to the Windows XP General group.
