hey all!

Looks like win xp is WAY too resource hungry for my sluggish secondary laptop.

So i decided to roll back the OS to win 98 (slightly kinder to such aged machines), but there is a problem.

When I try to run the win98 "setup.exe" from within XP, i am told that this has to be done from "ms-dos mode", which does not exist in win xp.

Also, it seems that the win98 install disk does not have a boot record that the laptop recognizes!

so... what can a boy like me do?

well here is some reading material:

98 over xp

PERFECT!

i tried to do that digging... but i just am not that awsome with google yet, you know, dont have the FEEL for it yet

cheers
