Hi Mike - Welcome to the CH forums.

You cannot use a Dos bootdisk to delete Win.XP if your hdd  is formatted NTFS, Dos will simply not recognize NTFS.  You can use the Delpart utility from here to delete the NTFS partitions or you could use your XP cd to delete partitions and reformat Fat32 in preparation for installing Win.98

Good luck
