Dual booting Menu Problems!!!!!!! HELP!!!!

Hi,

Okay heres my situation

I was on win98 first
and then decide to jump to win2k as a second os on a seperate hardrive.
so i first did a update install from the win2k cd but on drive d:
drive c: = win98 directory and drive d: win2k directory.
After the windows installation of copying the win2k files needed it boot up but says that my win2k
installation path is corrupt.
so i boot into win98 and delete some of the boot files information
while still in win98 i reinstall a clean copy of win2k onto d: drive again.
this time it ran just fine.
The only problem is now i can only get win2k as an os option. I lost win98.
so I took win98 bootdisk and did a floppy boot.
i used the command "sys c:" in dos prompt.
now the problem is I don't have the win2k option.

What do i have to do to get both os to show up on my boot menu.
btw. now my boot menu is win98 boot menu not win2k.
 
I think it's somewhere in the boot.ini file in your root dir. You'll have to add something in there.
I'm at work now. Will check for you when I get home.
 
This is my boot.ini -

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=C:\
[operating systems]
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect


I actually dual boot WinME & Win2k - don't think it matters tho' as ME isn't mentioned, only "Microsoft Windows".
