i have a p4 with 120 gb hard disk having 4 partitions the first partion has windows 98 second edition and then on third partition i installed win 2003 enterprise sever, but due to password error i had to reinstall on the same partition, i can log into windows server but when i select the windows 98 option it just restarts again, how should i make it work
my boot.ini in server looks like
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows"

Check the boot.ini files,make sure that you have Win98 on the first partition

Using a win 98 startup disk insert in floppy and boot computer,the win2k3 boot files overwrote the other operationg system boot files
