I have just done a clean install of: Windows Me on partition C, and a clean install of: Windows 2000 Pro on partition D.
Now, I have decided that Windows Me is not very good (eats memory for breakfast, frags up like a ***** ect) so, heres the problem:
I would like to re-format drive C, then reinstall Win 98. BUT, when I do this my Boot.ini file will be gone, therefor I will not be able to boot into Windows 2000 or will I?
Will a new boot.ini be created from my Win 98 install, or will I have to do something to make it see Windows 2000?
Any help would be good.

Cheers.......NoNeed

Once you've installed 98, and assuming you have no special options in your boot.ini, you should just be able to boot from the Win2k CD, choose repair, go to the recovery console and type "fixboot"

This should put the correct boot files back onto the Win98 partition so that you dual boot.

If you have any special options in the boot.ini, copy it somewhere safe then replace the fixboot version with the old copy.

Hope this helps,

That's great, Thanks Andy

Or if the ERD disk have you not, hmm...you can always let Win2k find it and do a fast repair. I've done a 9x/2k dual boot several times, and this has worked out fine. I'm lazy, and not a big command line person.
