Well if you can boot to safe mode then that would be my suggestion... I have
a haunting feeling that you won't be able to, SO,
If you've converted to FAT32 then you'll need to get a copy of Partition
Magic and convert it back to 16
Then from the MS dos prompt reinstall Windows 95, preferablly to a clean
directory
Once back in windows, you should be able to remove Win98

either that or do a reformat and clean install form Dos

What you need is win98c.zip. This will disable the time expiration for
you. If you need it I can send it to you it is only 12K. I also think
you can get around the problem w/o reformating and doing a clean
install by changing the expired date. Just MHO
