mr.mark,

Thanks for the suggestions and urls. Some of the fixes I saw assumed that I would be able to put a file on the hard disk partition that was giving me trouble. Part of my problem was that I couldn't write to that partition.

I booted up with the W2000 CD and ran a program called "bootfix". It didn't.

I wanted to restore the drive image to that partition, but the DI program wouldn't run, it got a stack overflow condition and quit.

Finally after trying enough times, I was able to reformat the partition. DriveImage restored the W98 image, which contained NTLDR and everything else I needed to make the whole computer run smoothly, W2000 and all.

Whew. Still time for a chilled beverage.

Thanks again, Frank
