There is a Win. file that the extension is changed to .bak or something
along
that line which allows the reinstallion of the operating system. Need to
reinstall Windows 98 but get message that operating system is already
installed. I have done this before a long time ago and it worked
perfectly.
The file extension is changed in DOS. Not sure if it is Win.ini or
Win.com.


c:\windows\win.com


That's it! Thanks a bunch!


I would also rename WINVER.EXE in the Windows folder.
