If I have dual boot say 98&2000. My 98 crashes and I reload 98. I loose my dual boot. It no longer sees 2000. Is there any way to make it see 2000 with out reloading it?

If it matters which drive- C:98 D:2000

You will need to perform a repair install of W2K.

There are several files that W2K requires in the root of the boot drive. Including it's own command.com.
If you need to re-install 98 again, back up the files in the root folder first.
Command.com
boot.ini
ntldr

I think that there are a few more.

If you reinstalled Win98 you will need to repair the install of NT. You will need either a bootable cd and your repair disk or the three startup disks for NT and the rdisk. Without the rdisk, you are back at square one.
