Win98 to XP
« on: June 22, 2002, 08:46:49 AM »
I have two computers...a new Dell with WinXP that came complete with all the disks, drivers, etc., and a Pentium II with WIN98.  
 Question 1: Can I put Win98 on a Pentium 2?
 Question 2: How do I erase the Win98 hard drive and do a clean install on the XP?
  Question 3: If XP is best NOT used on  a Pent.2, how do I erase the hard drive and reinstall the 98?
Thanks
Jeanie
