This is my boot.ini ... I changed something in order not to see win98 when I boot ... and I forgot ... what did I change ? how can I bring win98 option on boot !?
[boot loader]

timeout=3
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWSX="Microsoft Windows Whistler Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows 98SE"

I'm not too sure, but my boot.ini file looks the same. Your should be working, here's mine:

[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\ = "Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition"

Only difference I can see are the space between the "C:\" and the "=" and "Windows"

Do you even see Windows 98 as a choice at boot up?

No ... and that was the point of the change I made ... I needed to protect my PC from unauthorized use by temperoraly eliminating that option at boot .. now I don't remember what I did !

You mean it doesn't show the Win98n entry, or doesn't autoboot to it?

I just thought of something, you could boot from the CDROM and let it fix your boot loader.. it'll remake it, just back it up first.
