boot loader not installed

I have windows 98 installed in my C:drive(2 GB) and windows backoffice2.5(NT4.0)installation files(which were copied from CD-ROM) in the same drive. When trying to install NT4.0 by running backoffice installer, the DOS prompt pops up and require me to enter the path for installation files(default is: ..\..\backoffice\I386) and I always get error message"boot loader is not installed" and NT4.0 installation is failed.

Do I need any extra boot disk(s) should I install NT4.0 this way(not from CD-ROM)? What is the meaning of "boot loader is not installed" and what is the 'file name' of "boot loader"?

Please help me out...

Hello,

How many HD you have? Do you install the NT on which HD? Is the HD FAT32?
