The 600X I bought last month came with a Win98 recovery CD. It has two
options: One is to make the hard drive appear exactly as it was when the
device shipped, so it removes all partitions, creates what it likes,
copies files and whatever else.
The other option is to rebuild the C: drive, so that one will keep your
partitions intact.
As part of the installation, the Win98 install files are put on the hard
drive in \windows\options\cabs. It takes 200MB, but you can delete those
if you like and get them from the CD.
