Rebooting is basically restarting your comp. If it is not shutting down properly than press and hold the start button( the actual button, not the one on the screen) This will shut it down, wait about 10 seconds and just restart the computer.\n\nI have a feeling this is not what you are looking for tho.\n\nAre you sure your not talking about re-formating and re-installing windows?\n\nTry restarting in safe mode. Press the F8 key as soon as  BIOS has finished and you see windows starting with the bar across the bottom.

See if you can find a Recovery CD or the Actual Operating System CD. Use which ever one you have. \n\nIf you don't have the CD's then I guess you could use Windows System Restore.

Go to Start Button > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.\n\nThe Services application should display.  Scroll down to Windows Installer and double-click on it.  If you want to temporarily start Windows Installer and have it still be disabled when you reboot, click on the Start button and wait for the service to restart.  There is no need to stop the service as it will be disabled the next time you boot.

set bios to use cd as primary or first to boot, then insert win 98. Choose to format then after format, install 98.

Try searching Bootdisk.com for a list of drivers---help is fading pretty fast for Win 98, but this site should be helpful to you...

There are a couple of things. \n1. You need the original Windows 98 CD. \n2. You need a Start up disk.\n\nFirst thing to see is, Does the hard drive already contain an OS?\n\nIf the HD already contains an OS, then you will have to check if you want to upgrade to 98 or Downgrade to 98.\n\nIf you are upgrading, then simply put the Win 98 disk in the drive and complete the setup.\n\nIf you are downgrading, then you need a start up disk. \n\nGo to http://www.bootdisk.com to get a windows 98 startup disk creator. Then create a start up floppy disk. \n\nOnce you have the start up disk, put that in the pc in which you want to install windows 98. \n\nThen turn the PC on. \n\nDuring start up, it will ask if you want to start up in \n1. No cd support\n2. with cd support. \n\nselect 2 (with CD support)\n\nThen, once the C prompt comes up, format the hard drive to remove the previous OS. \n\nOnce the formatting is done, pop the win98 cd in the cd drive. \n\nthen in the command prompt, type "E:&#92;SETUP.EXE" NOTE:- E: is your CD-ROM drive. \n\nit'll walk you through complete Windows 98 setup. \n\nOnce the OS is installed, install additional hardwares like graphic card, sound card etc. \n\nall set and done.. \n\nWOLA WINDOWS 98 IS INSTALLED..\n\nhope that helps.

You might could go the Windows 98 website, they have some drivers.

you can't and why would you want to?\n\nOf course you can wipe your hard drive and start from scratch with 98.

Download the utilities for you hard drive. They are available from the manufacture of your drives site. Zero the drive with there utility. Most computers will boot from the 98 CD - Set the boot order in the BIOS to boot Floppy drive first, Cd Next, and C (Hard Drive) Last. Some computers do not boot from CD and you will need a boot 98 SE boot disk- See sources. You may also have to get drivers for your computer that may not be on the windows CD - Go to you computer manufactures site - they usually have them. KillDisk will work if there is no utility for you drive - See Sources. When you go to put 98 in after wiping the drive you will have to let Windows format it - Go with large disk support - FAT 32.

If you are talking about a Windows 98 Installation disk, it is bootable, stick it in your CD drive, and if you have boot from CD enabled in your BIOS. It should boot to a prompt that will give you 3 options. 1.Boot from Hard Disk 2.Boot from CD 3. Command line...or something like that.

To get into the Windows 2000 / XP Safe mode, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.\n\nWith some computers if you press and hold a key as the computer is booting you will get a stuck key message. If this occurs, instead of pressing and holding the "F8 key", tap the "F8 key" continuously until you get the startup menu.\n\nTo get out of safe mode: From Windows Safe Mode click Start / Shutdown and restart the computer. This should start the computer automatically back into Normal Mode.

The above post is instruction on how to restore your registry and select system files only, this most likely will not give you the desired results (especially since, by default, it only creates a backup of the last 5 successful bootups) and can actually cause errors in some applications.  \n\nTo reset the PC use either the restore disks that came with the PC if you have them or reformat and reinstall Windows using a full install version of 98.  Windows 98SE also supports the upgrade to Windows XP.  If you're interested, check here to see if your computer meets the recommended (not minimum - it will be very slow) requirements.\n\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/xpready/default.asp
