chewbakka153,

Are you saying that you replaced Windows 98 with 2003 Server, or do you have a dual-boot computer? If it's dual-boot, you should have separate partitions for the different versions of Windows, and you can just format the 2003 Server partition.

You'll be using 2k3's boot menu to dual boot - so you could just remove the 2k3 bit from boot.ini and wipe the 2k3 drive - and it should just boot into 98. Boot.ini should look like:-

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=C:\
[operating systems]
C:\="Microsoft Windows"

Or you could run sys C: from a dos prompt in 98 or booting from 98 boot floppy. This will restore 98's boot sector - so machine should just boot into 98 (again - just wipe the 2k3 disk - as its on separate drive).

Umm, just out of curiosity, what are you doing with Win2003 Server in the first place, and why did you decide to install it on an older 98 PC?
