There is no official method for installing Windows 98 from floppies. For the full equivalent of what was contained on a Windows 98 disk, you would need approximately 460 floppies. You may want to study one of the projects that people have done to reduce the size of Windows 98 down to the minimum necessary files. These files should reasonably fit onto about 10 floppies. You just need to erase your hard drive, boot from a MS-DOS floppy, and run

sys C:

Then use the copy command to transfer the other files to the hard drive. The system should boot into a usable desktop.

How do you reformat to Windows 98 SE and get rid of the Windows ME that is on the PC now?

To anser you're question, First you uninstall Me. Then you need a floppy of windows 98 and the Installation disk for window's 98. First you use the 98 floppy to format. You will have an a:\ prompt that you type format c: so that it reads A:\FORMAT C:. Press enter, and push y, for yes to format. After format, type in the drive letter to you're cd-rom and push enter. Then type INSTALL and enter.This will load windows 98 .Follow the load directions from there. If there is anything in your computer that you want to save (documents, email, pictures, etc.) then print out or save to disk or CD what is important. If you don't save what you want, it will be completely erased by following these instructions. Also, be sure you have a valid installation key for Windows 98. You can't install Windows without it. Now, create a floppy boot disk: Put a blank floppy disk into drive A:, then go to Start-->Programs-->Accessories-->Command Prompt. At the command prompt, type FORMAT A: /S and press Enter. Follow the prompts to format the floppy disk (it will automatically be made bootable). Next, restart your computer *with the floppy disk still in the drive*. You need your PC to "boot" from the floppy disk. If it does not and instead loads Windows ME again, restart your computer and get into your BIOS (which, depending on the model of you PC, will require you to press DEL, F1, F2, F10, INSERT, or perhaps some other key as your PC starts--check your manual). In the BIOS change the Boot Order to make your floppy drive the first boot device, the CD drive the second boot device, and your hard drive the 3rd boot device. Save the changes in the BIOS and restart again. Now, having booted from the floppy disk, at the A:\> prompt, type FORMAT C: and follow the prompts to erase your hard drive. [WARNING! Anything you did not save on your computer will be lost after the format!] After the format, remove the floppy disk and restart your PC with your Windows 98 CD in your CD drive. Again, if the PC does not boot from the CD, access the BIOS and check your boot device order. The Windows 98 CD should start and walk you through installing a clean copy of Windows 98 on your PC. [Note that bootlegged and otherwise copied Windows 98 CDs probably won't be able to boot your computer.]
