    startup/boot problems..

    Okay, I'm posting this here, and in a few other places.. I have a "small" problem with win2k... it won't boot.. I tried installing over it.. that doesn't boot either.. Here's what happens/ed.. I start the PC..win2k loads on the "..with NT technology" screen with the blue status bar.. then it checks the FAT32-win98 drive for errors(usually finds some)then when it tries to initilize the win2k GUI, it BOSD's and restarts.. I can't figure out why.. I decided I was going to create a second partition on that NTFS drive and install a second win2k, so I could back up the data I need off the 1st install of 2k.. I get "could not be unmounted" or something like that from PM5.0.. so I try the FAT32 drive and it tells me that the FAT table has errors.. 1) how can I get the info off the win2k drive (I know, delete the 98 partition and install 2k there, I have no problems doing that..) 2) can I fix the 98 FAT table error?(providing I don't have to install 2k over it?) #1 is more important that #2, as I've already got all the data off the win98 drive that I want.. win2k and win98 are on two different physical drives.. Any thoughts? Thanks guys..
