If your D: drive is a separate physical disk from the drive that
Win98 is booting from, that sounds a lot like a hard drive
failure. Are these all IDE drives? With the two CD drives also
being inaccessible in Win98, it could be an IDE failure on the
motherboard. If that's the case, though, it's curious that the
Win98 partition will boot.
The last time I got a BSOD [Blue Screen Of Death] on my laptop the
offending file was listed towards the middle of the blue screen. In
my case it was a wireless driver so I tested the machine out with the
wireless card removed & everything checked out fine then I proceeded
to update my wireless drivers & haven't had a lick of trouble
since. Doesn't your blue screen list an offending file?
