I am currently using Win 98. Months ago, i had installed Win 2000 in another drive. The drive crashed so i had formatted the drive leaving Win 98 in my boot drive (drive c). I intend to upgrade my current OS to Win 2000. I tried to do so but since my current situation is dual booting even though i had reformatted my second hard drive, i have managed to delete some files eg Boot.ini,ntldr,ntdetect.com and bootldr from C drive. Before deleting the files, i did make a Win 98 startup disk, boot from the disk and type “Sys c:” (from A prompt) to disable Windows boot loader so that only Win 98 will be loaded thereupon.
Everthing is okay and managed to get Windows bootup. When i pop in the Win 2000 Cd to upgrade my OS, i had this message :
“Windows 2000 setup could not detect the version of Windows you are currently running. Setup cannot continue”.
I was unable to proceed from there. Since i could not upgrade, i thought maybe upgrade to Win 98 SE. However i encountered a different message saying
“Your computer already has an operating system installed, which cannot be upgraded by this version of setup. You need to obtain Windows 98 upgrade”
Can any one out there help me as i need to use some drivers which requires Win 98 SE or Win 2000
