Installation Error

[Debra Earle]

It sounds like you removed the partition that you had Win98 on, as this is
usually the result of BOOT.INI pointing to the wrong partition. When you
removed the other partition you may have altered the partition "names" so
that W2K can no longer find the operating system.

How to edit BOOT.INI will depend on the type of partition(s) you
installed. Worst case, you would have to do a "repair" re-install of W2K
to re-write the boot.

I have removed your very -unnecessary cross-posts & directed responses to
the WinnT "misc" group. Please do not cross-post ... especially to beta
groups! ... as it is completely unnecessary & wastes time&space, and only
gets those who might help you angry instead. Why you thought this
belonged in Access groups is beyond me!
