Well i am running windows 2000 but recently decided it would be worth the hasle to reformat my ntfs partition and dual boot my computer so that i could load some of my more incompatable applications on to windows 98 and still use 2000 if desired. now before formating i tried my boot disk... and it didn't work. i tried a boot disk from a friend and it also didn't work. they both have the io.sys and the msdos.sys and the command.com so shouldn't the computer boot to the A ;( i don't know of anysetting anywhere that i could change that would affect this. If anyone actually reads this and has any clue please let me know!
