Talk english. All MS OSs boot from C drive. But the general principle is you don't tell us what is relevent. You are asking for help and this could be a boot.ini problem. Asking for help and refusing to post the file is bad form. What if it is a boot,ini problem (which it can be), do we have to waste our time?

Type fixboot and fixmbr in help. It's most likely fixboot.

thanks thats what i wanted to hear.
i run fixboot.
and prob is solved

Two things have to happen:
1. The Windows 98 boot sector has to be copied to a 512-byte file
called bootsect.dos in C:\.
2. The Windows 98 boot sector has to be replaced by the Windows XP
boot sector.

Fixboot might do the latter, but it won't do the former, because it
would otherwise keep overwriting bootsect.dos whenever it's executed.
No. 1 can be done using Windows 98 debug command(s).
