:confused: hi everyone. I use two partitions on my harddisk. One is for win 98 and another for win xp. Due to virus infection, i removed win xp from my computer. Then i again installed win xp. but after that, the boot menu screen for dual boot didnt appear. from that time whenever i start computer, it directly boots to XP without letting me have a choice to boot from win 98. So, what do i do to access win98 without removing it from my computer. ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ME.

From the win xp, run 98 setup again and install in the same partition where previously installed. Next time before removing xp dont forget to take a backup of boot.ini .

Go to My Computer>> Right Click>> Properties>> Advanced>> Startup & Recovery and than check out the delay time for OS menu to be displayed:

Set the delay time >= 30 Sec. See if this works ;)
