:For most purposes you're probably better off skipping FDISK. As Akamad points out above, you'll need an operating system, and if you attempt to install a new one (GNU/Linux, Windows, etc.), an installation module will guess at the chances of success in installation (leaving you where you were if it thinks it won't succeed) and then will give you various options for dealing with the existing OS(es), e.g. removing it/them. In short, it will do the work of FDISK with a more palatable interface and with reduced risk. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] ([[User talk:Hoary|talk]]) 10:52, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
:What do you mean by ''uninstall''? Are you trying to remove just the operating systems, or wipe the entire drives clean? If the latter is true, then you can boot from your XP installation CD and delete both of the partitions via the [http://support.microsoft.com/KB/314058 recovery console] using the <tt>format</tt> command. I really need more information about your goal. For example, if it's an upgrade, you can upgrade 98 to XP via the <tt>winnt32</tt> command. You can't uninstall Windows the same way you uninstall a program, though.--[[User:Hello. I'm new here, but I'm sure I can help out.|Hello.
