Well, Start Menu
then go to the control panel and click add or remove program
you if it doesn’t work or still exist
you can use a special tool to remove it

Hi i have done this loads of times,go to microsft downloads,download the floppy discs you need for the os you want to put on simply put them in one by one it will guide you through it will then ask you to put your disc in cd rom do this and it will load you should put a fresh os in instead of overlaying it takes time but quite easy good luck

What system are you trying to install? Each system has a different amount of disks that are needed to install. Win 98 & 98SE have one. Windows ME has 1. Win 2000 has 4 and XP has 6. As Barbyman said you will have to download the boot disks for the version that you want to use.

Get a boot disk for the earlier OS then format the HDD and install the new system. Hope this helps :-)
