   in the Windows 95 Control Panel.

2. Put the Windows 95 Startup disk in drive A and reboot your computer.

3. Update the hard disk partition boot sector using the SYS command on the

   Windows 95 Startup disk by typing "SYS C:" (without the quotation
   marks).

4. Remove the Windows 95 Startup disk from Drive A and reboot your

   computer.

5. In Windows 95, remove or back up the following files:

      NTLDR
      NTDETECT.COM
      BOOT.INI
      NTBOOTDD.SYS (located only on a SCSI boot partition drive)

6. If you want to remove Windows NT, delete the Windows NT directory tree

   (%SystemRoot%).
