Your first mistake was buying a Compaq..
To install 98 you would have to format and repartition the drive to FAT32.. just boot up with your Windows XP CD |

You didn't buy from a shop? If I buy something I tend to buy it brand new.

Go to the store and get your money back.
Go to ebay and buy it from someone and ask him to build if for it if you dont know how to do it. |

Thanks JSA, Would you believe I didn't even get a Windows XP CD. I bought the computer from a supposedly reputible computer outlet (PC World) in England. You are supposed to make your own. Oh well. You live and learn. |

With the amount of money they charge for one Maxtor 120GB drive, I can buy TWO brand new Western Digital 120GB drives online and have them delivered the next day before 12pm. I would take the machine back and demand a refund. Their business practices are notoriously shady, their salesmen are like cockroaches, their prices are absurd, and their machines are made from tacky low grade and old components ESPECIALLY the memory and monitors. Fujitsu and Mesh provide higher spec, high quality machines for like 40-50% less than the price of PC World. If you pay £700 at PC World, you can get a better machine direct from Fujitsu or Mesh for £400 with all the same warranties/customer rights/etc, and I'm not kidding. |

http://www.meshplc.co.uk/updated/news_mat2400iq.htm PC World price would be about £799 with less memory. and you wouldn't get the software, printer, or webcam. With all that stuff I bet the PC World price would be about £899. |

if it was made for XP, like the athlons, I wouldn't recommend going backwards..

ya could format it and install windows 2k pro it is pretty simple has older look and is stable for windows that is and you would not have to repartition cause win2k runs on either format
