Unrecognized Win98

[Allen]

Hi,
I have WinXP Pro on my family computer with Win98 nesting on the second
drive. After I reinstalled WinXP, there is no recognition of 98. Any
pointers?

You need to copy the system files (io.sys, msdos.sys and command.com)
to your boot drive to boot to 98 and modify boot.ini to pick 98 from
the menu.
