Re: W2K and 98, off subject sorry but I need help
Physically reconfigure the disk drives so that the Windows 98 disk is disk(0) and the Windows 2K disk is disk(1). Make sure that Windows 98 boots fine without the boot loader screen. Then boot the Win2K CD and upgrade the existing Win2K Advanced Server partition to the same version of Win2K Advanced Server. It won't change anything on the Win2K partition, but it will build a new usable boot.ini on the Windows 98 partition. You should end up with: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\C:\="Microsoft Windows 98" I have never seen Windows 98 boot from anything other than the first active partition on the first disk drive which the BIOS designates as C:. There are some multiboot utilities out there but they usually want to be involved before the Operating System is installed.

Re: W2K and 98, off subject sorry but I need help
Brandon, Win98 must be on the first bootable HD partition. It is always specified at the end of the boot.ini file as C:\Windows (or whatever folder name you used).
