duel booting

[thomas2004]

I had duel booting system on my HD, Window 2000 and Windows 98, which are working.

Recently, I installed a new HD in the same computer and I installed Wiondows XP on the new HD. and converted the Window 2000 and Window XP into NTFS format.

I left the Window 98 partition alone.

But I COULD NOT boot up with dual operating system. Any idea?

thanks,

(Assuming it boots into XP) Check you boot.ini to see if Windows recognizes the other systems. Probably the easiest way to view it and make changes it through Control Panel>System>Advanced>Startup and Recovery. Click the Settings button and the first section you'll see has to do with multi-booting. You can see which systems are recognized by checking the drop-down menu for "Default operating system," or you can open the boot.ini file by clicking on "Edit."
Here's what the file looks like for my system, with XP on a RAID controller and 98 on the primary IDE:
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
C:\ = "Windows 98SE"
