Sorry to hear you are reinstalling win98 - you'll be back! Anyway, nothing special is required unless there is data on the disk you need to extract - then you should boot in single user mode (not sure of what this is in Mandrake - hit the tab key at the lilo prompt to find out - probably linux single ) which will allow you to change the password of the root user. If there's nothing on the disk though it's just a matter of installing windows as if the disk was blank - ie install the windows install cdrom and boot using it. It will delete the exisiting partititons and install it's dreadful stuff ... -=-=-==-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Graeme Robinson - Graenet consulting www.graenet.com - internet solutions -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==---=-=--=-=-= -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
