   I've upgraded W95 to W98 only to find that on this 2 GB drive "barely" 20 MB   
   remains free.   
      
   I've trashed all the applications (plan to reinstall from Office 2000 CD   
   later) but didn't uninstall them. Which is why, I think, so much disk space   
   is still unavailable -- all the numerous associated files for those apps are   
   still on the HD.   
      
   So, I'm thinking the easiest thing to do is to initialize the HD and install   
   W98 from scratch.   
      
   But a friend is warning me away from this decision saying that things like   
   the drivers that are already on the HD will be a pain to add back. Other than   
   the keyboard and mouse, all that is in this PC is a common 10/100base-T LAN   
   card, the original CD-ROM drive, and a new-ish HP DJ932 printer. I've got the   
   drivers for the printer and LAN card on CDs, but not the keyboard, mouse, and   
   CD-ROM drive (which are all original).   
      
   Original CDs for this PC are gone.   
      
   Can anyone help me decide if it is going to be straightforward to wipe the HD   
   and install W98 and the few drivers needed? Will I need to add new drivers   
   for the CD drive and keyboard and mouse? Shouldn't these be included in the   
   W98 install?   
      
   This is on an old HP Vectra P1(?) PC.   
      
   Thanks,
