Ok, so I have an Aptiva 2137-E26 and it was originally a Win 95, but I
put Win 98 on it myself.
Well I want to wipe my hard drive of everything on it and put Win 98
back on. I also want to add more memory to it. Now how do I go about
doing all this?

i recommend installing win98 using the 98lite
installer @ http://www.litepc.com/preview.html

i generally choose "chubby" without installing
IE. this way, i can install a newer version of
IE/OE afterwards.

Dear Kim;
Boot with a Boot Floppy, when you get the prompt activate "With CD
Support" At the A:\> prompt type format c: Insert the 98 disk in
the CD Drive and while still at the A:\> prompt type setup and you
are on the road.
You will have to remove the power supply to get to the memory slots. You
should check with IBM or a reputable vendor as to what type memory you
need. Good luck.
Ed

If you only have a 98 Upgrade CD, you will need
to have the Win95 CD handy as you will be
prompted for it when you install. If you don't
have such a CD, look for all the original Win95
files in C:\Windows\Options\Cabs. Copy these
files to another partition or burn them to a CD
and I think this will work to satisfy 98's prompting.
