That isn't what I've heard, and there's no mention of it on the web site either. I could be wrong. Can someone confirm/deny this? I'm pretty sure thats not true since that would mean if you install Win98 you would have to delete and reinstall it. Again I heard that's not true. Regardless, I'm far past that and I need help to get it running without destroying more stuff. Does anyone know what I should do? Should I just reinstall it? Can I have an extended partition for dos?
