We have replaced a Windows NT workstation with a new one.
We would like to use replace the Windows NT OS on the old
one, with Windows 98. We have the Windows 98 CD with us
and have the lisence to use it. Can we do it? If so how?

We also want to remove the partitions on the hard drive of
this workstation. It does not have any data as everything
has been transfered to the new workstation. Do we delete
the partitions before moving from NT to Win98 or after
doing so.

We have always appreciated the help we have received from
this newsgroup

Yes delete the partition, then boot the Win98 CD-Rom to start your install.

I assume you have backed up everything. You have to
delete the partion if it is ntfs partion , or else during
the 98 installation it will format it.Boot the server
with boot disk & delete the partion by using fdisk from
command promt.
