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.

If you really had 98 and XP on primary partitions, you then needed a
bootloader to choose to what operating operating system you wanted to boot.
Are you sure you didn't have XP on an extneded/logical? If so, then you lost
the bootloader for XP when you removed 98; you will need to use the XP
install disk, and start the recovery console and use the fixmbr command
