Answer 1

The only way is to re-install the 98 system, or do a full install of XP. your data will be lost.

Answer 2

it never installed so I can not be uninstalled the bad part about it is before it can install it deleted your windows 98 so all of your data is gone hopefully you still have the 98 disk around to re-install that or try ubuntu its a free alterntive to windows  

Answer 3

You can't really un-install you just need pop the cd in again and and format the hard drive.

Answer 4

Best OS ive ever used , alot safer then xp by far. compatiblity wont be an issue in time but other than that this os beats out xp id say. ive used both xp and vista for about equal amounts of time and id prefer vista for sure. id buy this again definately.
