Re: Windows 98 Repair/Reinstall Question Installing W98 on top of W98 will only cause additional problems. If you absolutely don't want to format and reinstall, you need to remove all the old drivers from the other computer, then install the Intel chipset drivers plus the drivers for all the 8100 hardware. I’ve been trying (with no success) to re-install windows 98 on my PC. I have a boot floppy and an original windows 98 disk. I have been able to do Fdisk, deleting the old partition and creating a new one and also format the C drive.
I have an old PC that I have replaced and the OS is Windows XP. I have it set up in my work shop and what I would like to do is uninstall Windows XP and install an older OS - Windows 98, for which I have a disc.
