The idiot that owned my house before me covered the Oak flooring in the

start over?

If it's real 3/4" oak, you might as well try. You can always pull it
up later. If the glue binds up sandpaper, try dry-ice and a wide
chisel.

I'm not sure I would try dry ice.

I would try, in this order
-Scraper alone
-scraper then a solvent for the adhesive
-scraper then heat scrape for the remaining glue

One you get off what you can I would then sand and refinish.

Its a lot of elbow grease but may be worth it in the end. On the other hand,
maybe they were trying to cover a problem. Good luck.
