I'm having difficulty deciphering your message. Windows 98, whichever =
one you have booted to, is *always* on C:\ drive. In order for your =
machine to boot to that drive, it must be the Active drive. If you have =
another Win98 system installed to what is now your D:\ drive, and want =
that to be the boot drive, you have to use a Windows Startup floppy =
boot, run FDISK, and make that partition Active. Then when you boot to =
that Windows, it will be the new C:\ drive.

Why did you think you had to reinstall Windows? What else is on the =
current C:\ drive besides the new Windows installation? If there's =
nothing else, you can reformat that drive. If there was other stuff, and =
you can fix things to boot to the old system, you can then delete the =
Windows folder and the Program Files folder (provided you didn't already =
have a Program Files folder there.)

Do you actually have two different hard drives, or only two partitions =
on one drive?
