Ive got a problem with a computer I'm trying to fix. Ill try and describe it.
The machine is running windows 98. For some reason I keep getting an error with the system registry upon startup. Windows tries to fix the problem, but always halts and gives the message that it can not fix the problem.
Due to the fact that the machine has very little on it, I thought it would be best to uninstall windows 98, format the hard drive (if necessary) and then install Windows XP.
However, I can't manage to do it. Windows XP will not install properlly, so I need to try and uninstall windows 98 to get the machine working again before I can install XP. How can I do this? I have tried to find a way to uninstall windows 98, but I have been unsuccesful.
Could someone please give me instructions on how I can get rid of windows 98 and put XP on the machine?
In addition, if anyone knows how I can fix the system registry or if it would be better to format the hard drive, that would be good to.
The machine is not connected to the internet.
Thanks in advance
