I am unable to uninstall windows 98 second edition
because of the conversion to FAT32... The W98undo.dat and
other important variables have been deleted from my hard
drive. How I can work around this?

The only way for you to convert your partition(s) from FAT32 to FAT16
is to get a third-party utility. Partition Magic (www.powerquest.com)
will do this, as will some other products.

If you are trying to revert to W95, you cannot. Tell us what the problem is and maybe we can help
