I need to uninstall windows me and return to windows 98. however i didn't
not save the option to return to 98. i don' t want to format the hard drive
as i'll lose loads of preinstalled programs on my laptop. any ideas? Can i
delete the windows folder, make the computer crash and then restart with the
98 startup disk? Will this keep my preinstall programs?

But not for a laptop! When I asked the question originally it worked for my
pc. However, this time the laptop doesn't read from the a: drive and so
doesn't work!!

Check the BIOS settings - you may have the option to boot from the external
floppy
