Here's my situation, I had Windows 98 running on my machine all fine and dandy. Then one day i'm cleaning the house and find my XP cd that i've been looking for for ages. All excited I install it to the c:\WINXP folder so I could keep 98 for old games in the c:\windows directory. Windows XP works fine, and as far as I can tell my Win98 installation is still there. Took me a bit but I figured out that what XP did was delete Windows 98 from the boot.ini file. So really all I need to fix my computer is for a Win98 user to copy and paste their default boot.ini settings here. To view the boot.ini file, go to Start>Run and type "boot.ini" without the quotes. Thanks
