I had a fresh win98 install FAT32 on my hd and tried to upgrade it with windows XP Home. It did not upgrade but did a clean install of xp only there where no other option for an upgrade only clean install and for some reason it did a dual OS install where now when I reboot I get the option of booting windows 98 or xp setup in the black screen while seconds are counting down. Win98 boots fine no problems. But booting in winXP big problems blue screen problems saying unmountable boot value!!! How can this be?! One side win98 ok and then winxp side problem! All this on a fresh install of win98 and winxp on the same 10 gb HD. Some has any suggestions please. Thanx

Yep, really screwed up, best advice is to

A: not run XP on a 10GB drive as it is nowhere near spacious enough for XP

B: never ever upgrade W98 to XP, it rarely works well

C: either wipe the drive and install W98 or try and remove XP whilst leaving W98 intactus...
