My PC was configure to boot from Win98 or XP. I did this by installing WinXP
after Win 98. I am able to select to boot from Win98 or XP. Win98 is in 'C drive' and WinXP is in 'D drive'. Both are separate disk drive. Now my 'C drive' has crash(dead, not acessable). I am not able to boot. I disconnect 'C drive' from IDE cable and reconnect 'D drive'(with XP) as primary disk but still cannot boot. Now I don't want dual boot anymore. I just want boot from the 'D drive'. Can anyone help? I don't need Win98 anymore. |

Select Repair, then Recovery Console. 3. Execute these commands: fixboot (to create a WinXP boot sector) fixmbr (to create a WinXP Master Boot Record) bootcfg /rebuild (to create a new version of D:\boot.ini) exit (to reboot the machine) *TimDaniels* |
