Cannot boot up Win2K

[Alan]

My machine got Win98 (partition C) and Win2K(partition D) dual boot.
I got a problem of unable to boot up Win2K when I select the Win2K option:
the file of ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupted, please reinstall the copy
of this file.

Then I reboot to Win98, opened Windows Explorer and tried to look at the
partition D, I cannot see the partition D, it said it is invalid.

Anyone has idea ?

if win2k is on an NTFS partition
you cannot access it from win98

you should be able to boot with your win2k cd
and enter the recovery console

then issue the command: fixboot

I tried to boot from CD by setting in BIOS but didn't boot from CD. It still
gave me options to select Win98 and Win2k.

My partition D (Win2K) is FAT32.

then you can make a set of floppy bootdisks to start your win2k
installation...
you may need to do an entire repair installtion...
however if the drive is corrupted...you may have to start from scratch

My hard disk has partitioned into C, D, E and F.
I just wondered only partition D is corrupted because I can see the other
partitions in Win98.
A couple of days ago, when I selected the option for Win2K on startup, it
went to the Win2K desktop screen and then restart itself, then the option
appeared and I selected the Win2K option and before the Win2k desktop screen
came up, the black screen showed the ntoskrnl.exe is either missing or
corrupted, and the PC stalled.
