It is not possible to uninstall any OS, lol.
If you want to get rid of the dual boot feat., then just edit out the boot.ini file.

You cannot uninstall an OS without format because the OS cannot Kill (delete) itself when running. The best thing to do is to take Backups of all your important files on DVDs/USB and simply Format the Windows 98 Drive and switch to XP :)
