booting up OS

Hi everyone,

I bought a new 20GB HDD and created a 10GB partition on it. The drive names were C and D.

I installed win98 on c:\ and tried to create a dual boot machine by installing win2k on d:\

It worked fine for months and months, then my win98 started causing problems so I decided to format c:\

Now whenever I try to re-boot i get the following error message:

NTLDR is missing
Presss CTRL ALT and DELETE to re-start.

Any ideas why this is happening?

I have tried CHKDSK and CHKDSK /R

But I still keep getting this error message. I don't want to re-install win98 as win2k is much more robust.

Help...?

You would have removed the Windows NT/2000 loader program.

You may be able to get it back running fdisk /mbr or re-install Win2K
