A while back I tried to install Windows XP on my computer. I was not able to because Windows 98 was already installed. Since then I changed my mind and continued using Windows 98. Now, because I started the install of XP I have this error message whenever the computer starts. It goes to the message "Please select the operating system to start" and if your not quick enough it will go through the whole XP setup thing again. It is quite annoying and would love to get rid of this thing that obviously contains some sort of setup data that stays on my computer. can anyone help me to REMOVE the setup data so I can just boot right to Windows 98 like I use to? Thank you very much!
