Help!!
I have been operating with 2 primary FAT32 parttions using both win98 and wnixp in each fo these partions as operating systems. As my HHD was getting too full I decided to reformat my win98 drive, as I was not using win98 much, to FAT32 Primary Partition with a view to using this drive as backup and storing files not being used regularly. I cannot get the win-xp loading now and when I start the computer it asks me for a system dics. Can any one guide whether how can I get the system to start with win-xp. I have checked that all the files in Drive C (win xp) drive are intact.
Thank you.

Thank you for your help. I have tried but still had problems statting xp. I have now reformatted the entire drive as one primary partition. I have backed up all my data which is secure. Tried to re-install xp but get error message as below:

The script file specified with the /u command line switch
C:\WINNT.SIF
contains a syntax error on line 24. Setup cannot continue. Press and enter to exit.
Is there a way to over come this error message.
Thank you.
