Customizing OS problem
Not sure if this is where to go about my problem!
I am customizing a computer and saw that Windows XP was my only option for a OS. How, if it is possible, would I be able to get Windows 98 SE installed instead of XP. If anyone has any info on this question please reply or email at zero_man13@hotmail.com, if not direct me to someone who can. Thanx!

If you want 98, you will have to buy a retail version of it and install it yourself. Dell no longer has any copies of it and other retail outlets will run out of their stock soon. Once you receive the computer, FDISK it to remove the NTFS file system, then FORMAT and install Windows 98 on a clean hard disk. You will not be able to buy a new computer with Windows 98 on it from Dell (or, probably, any other major computer vendor).
