Windows 2000 is already installed on my RAID-0 array. I have a third drive I plan to install Win98 on. I disabled the raid controller so that I would see my third drive "alone." Then I proceeded to install Win98SE. After it loaded, I realized it over-wrote the MBR. No problem, so I downloaded a program to set which drive I wanted "active." I set Win2k active and it boots fine into Win2k. But now how do I get back into Win98? I've played around with the boot.ini file and haven't had much luck. Boot.ini currently looks like this

[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Windows 98 Second Edition"

If I boot from a 98 startup disc, my "C:\" drive is Win98 and my "D:\" drive is WIn2k. If I try to start windows98 from my startup disc I get a vfat error. I've been looking around online for a while now on how I should setup boot.ini but haven't had much luck getting it to work. Any suggestions?

Here's my current <a href="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hipnotic_ ... drives.gif" target="_NEW">drive layout</a> if it matters any.

[edit]
whoops, this should probably be in the "software" forum

It's a bit tricky installing 98 AFTER Win2K (or WinXP). Microsoft doesn't recommend it, however it can be done.

hah, figured it out Sheesh, I always do that. Right after I post I figure it out. All I did was download a boot manager which entered in the right info into the MBR, I suppose. Thanks though
