I cannot reboot Windows '98. I have installed two o/s, W'98 and WNT. when I try to boot Windows '98 it shows me an error: i/o error accessing boot sector file multi(0)disk(0)fdisk(0)\\bootsect.dos. wINDOWS NT can be loaded without problems. Have you got any suggestion about the above problem.

It sounds like you installed 98 after NT, am I right? You should always install 9x in a FAT paertition first and then install NT. There is a work around for this if you do a search for dual boot on Microsofts knowledge base.

You also need to install windows into a 16 bit fat if you're planning to dual boot with NT.
