Re-installed 1st in dual-boot, and lost 2nd Op Sys! Help please!

[geeoff1]

I have a dual boot with Win98 SE, followed by Win2K, using the Win2K dual boot system. It was perfect until addingnew sound, graphics, etc. fudged up the 98 install. I reinstalled 98, thinking that I would lose the built in dual boot, but would use System commmander, as I used to do. The thing is, even after running a boot section and startup section repair in Win2K, although System Commander can see that there is another Op Sys there, it classifies it as an unknown FAT32 Op Sys, and says that it is not bootable, which I know is not true, but if it cannot see it, it may as well be true. Sys Commander doesn't seem to like being brought in later. I don't care if I get the old dual boot back, if I use Sys commander, or if I use Boot Magic (which I also have), but good lord am I going to lose a lot if I cannot rescue this! Please, if you can provide any information on this, pease help me save this! Thank you MUCH in advance!

Not sure I follow you. What is your partition scheme?

Do you have Win98 on the primary c: partition, then Win2K on a logical D: partition?

Did you say you unsucessfully ran the Win2K repair option?

Just a thought, but, have you checked your boot.ini to make sure it's listing both operating systems? I ran into that once after doing a W98 refresh and it took a while for me to figure out.
