Wondows XP and 98 on the same machine. Starting problems.

[mamin]

Hi!On my computer there're two Windows installed. XP and 98.
Everything worked perfectly, but today morning while I was trying to
run windows XP system, my computer has restarted suddenly. Now every
time I'm trying to run XP it restarts. 98 system works fine.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

I was trying but without any results.

Some possibilities here:

1) Boot your XP disk and perform a "Repair" function.

2) A hardware failure that Windows 98 doesn't show up.

3) An update has installed something that XP doesn't dance with, like a new driver.

If you have access to another PC where you can mount your hard drive as a slave, do so and run
1) Scandisk/checkdsk on it.
2) AntiVirus scan
3) Spyware / adware scan.

The fact that you have Windows 98 on it suggest the hard drive is old and beginning to die. It's time to backup your data.

"98 system works fine."

Just because Win 98 is installed does not mean the drive is old.
Also, there is no clue as to how many drives are installed. There could be
two or more.
