Howard....You need NTLDR ( no extension) bootsect.dos,
ntdetct.dos, not sure about any others...... your best
bet may be to reinstall but chose repair. instead of a
clean install?
you might also run the install the recovery console
form the XP CD..then run fixmbr when you boot to it..I
can send you those files off-list if you wish..not sure
if that'' work, but....
HTH,

Thanks Bruce and Armando for the help. Unfortunately,
all those progs assume I can access XP and they can't
be used from win98se. I am stuck in 98 which is on FAT
32 and can't even see the XP partition which is NTFS. I
have tried a lot of backups, but none had complete
files I needed to reboot. I had the boot.ini file which
gave me the boot menu, but XP wouldn't work. I'm about
out of options, so I"ll probably format. If you don't
hear from me for a few days. you will know what
happened. Thanks again ...

Subject: [triadtechtalk] Dual Boot Menu Don't Work!
I have a win98SE/XPPro dual boot on my computer. I ran
win98SE install over my present install and now I still
have the menu, but it will only open 98. If I try to
run XP, it restarts the computer. I did save the
boot.ini file and reinstalled it after the 98 install
and both menu items show up. I believe there is at
least one more file that I should have saved and
reinstalled ... but I didn't. Any help appreciated
(even if I can get to open XP again). Thanks .
Howard
