mr mark,

I installed W2000 dual-boot w/ W98 several months ago after reading about your positive experiences with W2000. I'm having my first serious problem, maybe you can help.

W2000 was getting flaky today so I rebooted into W98 and ran NAV4.0 over the whole computer. It reported that one of my boot records had been changed, and did I want to innoculate or repair? I hadn't made any big changes so I chose 'repair'. I then tried to reboot, but now I was told that NTLDR was missing, and the computer would not boot.

With my startup floppy, I can see the directory for the W2000 partition, but the partition with W98 returns the message "invalid media..etc"

Is there an executable in /WINNT or somewhere in my W2000 folders that will launch W2000?
