Is it usually a problem installing win98 on a HD that previously had win XP
on it? I formatted HD then tried to install win 98, I got an error about NDLR
not there. What is NDLR? Thanks for any help. Sterling.

You have to use Win 98 startup disk and then use fdisk to Delete any non dos
partitions. After you delete the nondos (NTFS) partition use fdisk to
create a new primary partition then format it.
