The files are... BOOTSECT.DOS NTLDR NTDETECT.COM BOOT.INI Now the ONE file that you CANNOT direct access is the actual bootstrap loader. The BOOTSECT.DOS is a copy of the one used by Windows 95/98/Me. The bootstrap loader is located on cylinder 0, side 0, sector 0, track 0, if you wish to dump the 512 bytes at this location.

I don't have a dual boot system anymore to check it. They are all on the root of your C drive. You may be able to figure out what they are. You could try saving those files and then replacing them after you reinstall Win98 since you aren't changing anything, merely reinstalling Win98. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
