Boot.ini Problem

[Guest]

Recently I took a Windows 98 partition off a dual boot (Win 2k and Win 98) computer. Since then I have not been able to regularly boot the computer, I have tried using the fixboot command from repair console, without any succes. The only way I have been able to boot the system is with a Windows 2000 floppy boot disk. I really need an suggestions anyone can provide, mostly becauase this is my parents computer and its files are very important

What, exactly, do you mean by "Recently I took a Windows 98 partition off a
dual boot (Win 2k and Win 98) computer."

How did you "take the partition off"?

We need details.
