The easiest fix for this should be to boot with your CD and allow the Setup
process to find your previous XP installation and then choose "R" to repair
the installation.  If the XP Setup process cannot find the previous
installation, then boot to the XP Recovery Console and run bootcfg /rebuild
as another lister has suggested.  This should then allow you to repair the
previous XP installation leaving you with your W98/XP dual boot as before
with no damage to your data.  Be sure to make a copy of the hidden
"boot.ini" file in the root of your W98 drive.  An overview of the XP
Recovery Console can be found here:
