This site started as adult webmasters swapin' info and when someone has a legitimate
webmaster (computer) related question they either get bullshit like what twistyneck posted
or dumb-ass nooB I-have-no-idea-what-I'm-doing remarks like what sumphatpimp posted.
So asuna comes in with a legit question cause he isn't sure and all he gets is bullshit.
Use a WinME bootdisk (more cd-rom drivers that Win98 bootdisk) and cd to the drive and run setup.exeOriginally posted by asuna

An overtop install will not delete anything. You have to actually format the drive to lose shit.Sig NOT for saleComment

You should back up the following folders:
Favorites
My Documents
Move them to another disk or to a network computer, burn to CD/DVD or leave them in another folder (besides the windows directory or drive root) if you must.
It will overwrite MSIE's favorites, which isnt a problem if they dont use IE. I cannot remember if it overwrites outlook's mail stores or not, but e-mail is my livlihood so I back it up anyway. Back that up for sure if you need anything in there, otherwise dont.
But with Win98 it is better to format anyway.Comment

reinstalling windows 3.1, 3.11 95, 98 or 98se will not overwrite personal files, win2k and winXP will overwrite, you are completely safeComment
