belker:
I had about a 2 page reply to this. But something popped up on my screen and wiped the entire reply out. Dangit.
Setup, first to make sure I understand. You have Win2k installed on drive D, but you wiped C and E recently. Correct? If so, read more.
Briefly what I said;
I think you are missing your boot.ini file on the C:\ drive. When your computer boots up (or tires), it is confused what partition to go to (C, D, E). And by default, it looks for this file in the C:\ drive.
Try seeing if you have it.
Boot up with your Win98 disk.
Go to the C: drive. (type 'C:') List contents (type 'dir')
See if you see a boot.ini there.
If not, you need a file similar to this, named boot.ini placed in your C drive.
[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
It might need a little tweaking, to map it to the D drive. Probably, the partition(1) stuff to something like partition(2). This I am a little unsure about.
I'd be curious to see if you have boot.ini there, though.
If not, we'll try something else. |
