    @ things put a flag up for me...

    1) A Win98 machine upgrade to XP ? ?

    I'm wondering if this machine comes close to the minimum requirements.

    2) Why haven't you tried a Win98 bootdisk to get to a command prompt to revert the bootini back to where it was ?

    The bootdisk needs to be made over on a different floppy disk
    to eliminate that question.

    Have you tried a program like killdisk?

    Then a fdisk,delete all the partitions,then format and do a fresh
    install.
