I have partitioned my drive into three logical drives and formatted all with fat32. I installed 98se in 1, win 2k pro in 2 and win xp pro in 3. All seems fine for just a few minutes. 98 works. 2k works but after booting 98, xp says that the filewindows\system\config\system is corrupt or missing. Is it not possible to do this? 98 and 2k still work. Any suggestions?

Unless you hear more from me later, I think this is closed. I formatted D and E as NTFS (ergo, 98se does not see them) and it seems to be working - through a half dozen boots of each anyway!

Their does not seem to be a problem with the set up,of the triple boot
In windows Xp go to Stystem in Control Panel and choose Startup and Recovery and set the boot menu whereas W98 is first in boot menu ,then use your startup disk to reload the system files

I have a similar setup with each operating system on its own partition,you could try installing W2K and XP in their on directory other that C:\windows
