| Apex Master Tech Apprentice | I have a P3 1.13Ghz computer and I had a dual boot on my hard drive for either Windows 98 SE or Windows XP Pro. But all of a sudden one day the Windows 98 O/S can't load. It says "explorer.exe is corrupt" and yadda yadda. I like having both os's because my games run faster in 98 and some programs won't work in XP. Windows 98 was/is on my "C:\" drive and XP is on the "D:\" drive. If I re-installed windows 98, do I need to worry about it corrupting any master boot records or anything like that? The hard drive is a Maxtor 10,000rpm 160GB hard drive and it's virtually brand new. All of my inportant data is on it's own huge partition. Any thoughts? What about a really good backup prog? THANKS!

| Sam-Hoe-rai N-Hoe-mad | As long as they're on seperate partitions, you should be okay. The MBR should remain intact... Remember, you can also load 98 over top of itself, so you might be able to repair it that way. Still.. make sure you back up your stuff just in case...
