Gud day!

My problem is that im confused if it is ok when you are using an winxp os and you will boot from a win98 bootable disk because my computer encountered boot failure.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks

Can you be a bit more specific as to what "boot failure" means to you? How far will it boot? There may be other ways to get in there than using boot media.

I beleive that XP and win98 use different versions of disk operating system so you wouldn't be able to do that . Go to www.allbootdisks.com or www.bootdisks.com to get an XP boot disk. You can use any computer to do it.

Tyger,
click the link I posted, above. You can boot XP w/ a 98 disk, or download other alternatives other than the 6 floppies MS offers.

if you have the XP CD handy just pop it into your CD-ROM and follow the following steps:

-When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.
-Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows.
-Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter.
-You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.
-Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter "E". This letter may be different on your computer.

copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\


-Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.


hope the above helps
