Safely delete XP from Win98/XP systems

Recently, I have two friends who have encountered the same problem. Their computers have two operating systems, Win98 and WinXP, respectively installed in two different hard disk partitions, Win98 in the C partition, WinXP in the D partition), and they have always been safe. Recently, because the hard disk is not enough, I plan to delete less XP. One of the friends, "smart", directly formatted the D partition where XP is located. As a result, Win98 cannot be started again. So another friend asked the author to discuss this issue. After some exploration, we found the correct method to delete XP in the dual boot system, which is provided for your reference here.

1. First, use the boot floppy disk of Win98 to start the computer and enter the DOS working mode.
2. in DOS mode, type the "FDISK/MBR" command line and press enter to run the command.
3. In DOS mode, type "sys c:" And press enter to run the command. This command transfers the Win98 operating system boot file of disk A to the C root directory.
4. restart the computer, and the Win98 operation interface will appear. Finally, delete the following files in the C: \ root directory:
Pagefile. sys
Boot. ini
Ntldr
Ntdetect.com
Ntbootdd. sys may not exist)
At this time, you can safely format the hard disk partition where the XP operating system is located.
5. Note: This method is only applicable to Windows XP and Windows 98 installed in Different Hard Disk Partitions, and XP partitions cannot be Primary Active partitions ).
