You should reinstall fedora and set it to overwrite the Windows boot sector. That way you get lilo or grub, whatever fadora uses. Then you can choose either OS from there. The install should set up a Windows chainloader for you. I'm more of a Suze and Gentoo guy myself though.

Make sure you do not have any disk in any of your drives.\n\nIf your drive is formatted FAT or FAT32 you can copy the file to the root of your c: drive.\n\nIf your drive is formatted NTFS \n1.) reinstall Windows from CD - Do not format drive and select a different Install location something other then c:&#92;windows use c:&#92;win2 for your install path\n\n2.) After the install files are copied to your drive you will have 2 boot options.   Do not select the option to complete installation.  Select the option that read Microsoft Windows XP (Home or Professional) depending on your version.\n\n3.) Once you have booted right click on "My Computer" and select properties.  Go to the "Advanced" tab and click the setting button in the "Startup and Recovery" section\n\n4.)  In the top section click "Edit" to Edit you start up file manually.\n\n5.)  Look for a line similar to "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)&#92;WIN2=".  This is the location of your second install.  Delete the line and save the file.\n\n6.)  Reboot your machine and it should boot normally.  Once it boots normally you can delete the "c:&#92;win2" directory that you created for the install.\n\nAfter this you will have access to all of your programs and application data.  Nothing will be lost.

It sounds like you need to create a new master boot record .. \n\n\nFrom a dos box command line:\nFDISK /MBR\n\nThis rebuilds the boot sector of the first bootable hard disk based on current disk structure. The partition table information should not be altered. This is usually used to repair a damaged, corrupted, or infected master boot record.

set your hard drive as the master drive in the computer you are using (friends) if it boots up go into your account and then remove the password or just do then on the drive what you are trying to do from the hard drive you are using ( friends)

If you're connecting the CD to the same cable as the hard drive then you need to read the manual and set the jumpers to the slave position. If not, then set it to master (probably set to this by default).

Helper123 is right!...\n\nYou must switch your boot system from HDD to CD...

If your system come with a system dick, then boot from that and follow the instructions.\n\nIf not you will have to boot from a windows CD and re-install.

Use partition magic, unless you want to start from scratch:\n\ncreate partition for win xp...install\ninstall win98 on other partition\nconfig xp for boot menu

You cannot have windows 98 recognise a xp drive if the xp drive is formatted as NTFS file system, and its questionable as to whether converting the xp drive to fat32 will even work, so your only hope is to use a computer with win xp or win 2000 pro to retrieve all your files, the drive you want to read must be jumpered as slave if you put it on the same IDE cable as the boot drive..barring that, you can use a knoppix or ubuntu live distro to burn all the files you need to cd's

Purchase a drive, preferrably one that is compatible with your IDE controller card.\nSet the jumpers correctly for the drive to be used as a slave drive (will show you in the documentation).\nMount the drive into your system.\nPlug the drive into the IDE cable, should be the next plug down from the master and be labelled as "SLAVE".\nPlug the power supply cable into the drive.\nBoot the computer and install drivers from a disk or from the manufacturer website (the website should have the latest drivers - may be newer than any included with the purchase).\nFormat the drive and partition as necessary.\nYou should be able to access it like any other directory on your system.\nCopy whatever files you want to this drive (not system files or files that are extensions of programs installed on your system drive).\n\nHope this helps.

yes I did that on my computer . It's pretty easy. I did install Fedora. Downloaded from over the internet and works really good together with my Win XP sp2 dual boot. Good luck

You have to have a boot disk first, then re-format you hard drive from the boot disk, then install win XP. Make sure the boot disk is made from win 98

Well there are many steps to this. I have done it once before successfully by using the steps on a link I found on http://www.bootdisk.com\nYou can also visit this site for instructions.\nhttp://old.bink.nu/xpbootcd/

I don't know if this will apply exactly to your setup, but on a Windows machine (98, NT, 2000, I haven't verified that this carried over to XP)...\n\n1) Create the folder that you want to turn into a "drive" -- for this example let's call it "c:&#92;drive_z"\n\n2) Start Menu -> Run\n\nType...\n\ncmd <enter>\n\n3) Type the following line...\n\nsubst z: c:&#92;drive_z <enter>\n\nYou now have a drive letter Z whose root directory is the contents of c:&#92;drive_z \n\nIt will remain until you reboot your machine, or until you type\n\nsubst z: /d <enter>

If you can run the cd from a dos prompt, go to the winnt directory and run setup from there.  Good luck

Fedora isn't the reason your laptop won't boot from the Windows CD. My best guess is that the boot order in your BIOS is such that the hard drive takes precedence over the CD-ROM drive. If you're comfortable going into BIOS, change the boot order so that your laptop tries to boot from the CD before it tries to boot from the hard drive.
