: 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.

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.
