It's likely that you'll have to format the drive to install Win 98 because it's the full version. Another option
would be to obtain an upgrade version of Win 98, which would preserve all your Win 95 settings, however, I
personally would not go that route. I prefer to do a fresh, full install of an OS because upgrades tend to be
flaky. If you decide to format, then install Win 98 fresh, it's a good idea to enter your BIOS and disable its
antivirus protection first, if so equipped, as that will interfere with the install. hth
