Replacing xp with 98

[jnix]

I recently replaced a crashed hard drive on my laptop and installed Windows XP. Since that time, the computer has run much slower and I'm unable to get on the internet. I'd like to reinstall Windows 98 and see if it makes a difference. How can I do this?
Thanks,
jnix

To get rid of XP you must reformat your drive and install 98.
