How to configure boot.ini to dual-boot Win2k and Win98

Hi, this is my disk configuration:

Hard Disk 1: single partition (c:) with Win98 installed on
it.

Hard Disk 2: partitioned into 3 drives (d:, e: f:). Win2k
is installed on d:

Currently I cannot boot Win98. This is my boot.ini in c:,
can someone enlighten me on how to configure such that I
can boot booth Win2k and Win98? Thanx!

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft
Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows="Windows
98" /fastdetect

I don't think your boot.ini will work the way you wrote it. Try
this instead:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
