windows 98 install problems

by mbourquin1990 . Updated 18 years, 8 months ago

Okay so I had a drive formatted into 3 sections, 2 were primary. The other is a 7 gigabyte logical drive which had a windows xp installation on it and most of my files.

I connected a 3 gigabyte as a slave drive to the master drive I just described and used a windows 98 cd to install windows on this drive. I told it not to mess with any other windows installations and intall. When the install was complete I thought everything was fine but when I tried getting into windows xp it didnt work. What I found out was that windows 98 had converted the NTFS logical drive into a FAT32 primary somehow and all my there had weird names and I couldnt move them because when I did the computer said they werent there.

Is there anything I can do to get my files back?
