Win 98 SE
Win 2000 Professional

log on xp n delete folders of windows 2k. (documents, prog files n windows)
goto c:\boot.ini and remove entry of win2k. simply select the line n delete it. Any further probs get back to me.

But i wonder how did u install 3 OS. u can install a max of 2 microsoft OS at a time, r u sure u have 3 WORKING os of microsoft?

theres no such limitation for running os....im runnin three os for more than a yr n i use all three of em.....98 was better off wit som compatibility issues of win32 application....2k was better for online gaming as games ran faster than xp....n xp was used for internet n softwares etc......n i did it all in 40gb hdd
now i have a grafix carc so theres no gaming diff bet xp n 2k so 2k is gettin useless...

i also thought for same as i said earlier....just a doubt tshud work properly....

cheers
