Just run 'setup' out of the Win98 directory on the Win98 CD. It will 
install over the top of any existing Windows it finds. I've had to do 
this a zillion times on boxes that became spontaneously unbootable. 
You'll need to re-install all security updates and such but that is 
usually the worst harm done by a re-install.
