Something happened to my box and I was unable to boot to
98 or 2000. I have recovered the 98 OS using an image file
however my 2000 seems not to be noticed durring boot up. I
had some problems with my boot records and partitions
files and that seems to be cleared up ok for now. I think
the dual boot is just not turned on so it goes on to 98
and boots that. How can I trouble shoot this. I am new to
2000 and just learning it. I had not had the time or
smarts to make an ERD (is that right) but I did start with
the set up disk and attempted a repair with r command.

I have lost my notes about what type of partition 2000
requires and how to set it up. Any ideas. The OS is still
on disk but I have no way to access the partition except
with partition magic. Assistance appreciated.
 
What error message are you receiving? I'm not expert on using
PartitionMagic, but you need the partition to be marked "active" and it
needs a correct MBR and BootSector. You may have success in searching on
those keywords in the Microsoft KnowledgeBase.
