i had winxp installed, and then installed win98... i've done this before and it worked fine. but this time for some reason it does not give me a boot option screen... i'm not sure what happened. i know winxp is still on there and it probably work fine. i just need to fix the boot.ini file. but i dont know how to do it.

can someone help me out here?

winxp = c:\windows
win98 = c:\win98

fat32 partition, disk 0.

i can supply to the boot.ini file if needed.

never mind, i managed to get the boot menu back starting a new winxp install, then took it out. works fine now...

admin: how come i cant delete my own thread? can that feature be enabled? otherwise, can you delete this thread... thx

You have both Win98 and WinXP on the same partition???
That's not a good idea. Both OS's will use the \Program Files\ directory.

Win98 and WinXP on the same partition is an immensely bad, bad idea.

Also, you should always install 2000 or XP *last*. All Microsoft OS's will modify the boot sector of your hard disk. Since you installed Windows 98 last, Win98 wrote its boot sector down and killed WinXP's ability to multi-boot other OS's.
