Replacing XP with Win98SE (PII, 233Mhz) on Dell CPI Notebook

by pekoe Jun 6, 2005 12:23PM PDT

I have purchased a Dell laptop with a PII, 233 Mhz, 64 MB RAM that has Win XP loaded. People have told me this is a ridiculous OS for this limited a machine, and recommend installing Win 98SE (I have the CD for this).

Can anyone lead me through the step-by-step of removing XP and installing Win 98SE? I plan on increasing the RAM soon as well.

Thanks,

Barry
