Formatting drive containing windows 98

Dear Andy, i've experienced the same problems before and
i'm not into this technical though, but i've tried this
and it works.(sorry it's abit long winded)
My question is:-
1. If u gonna format C:/, it will bring u disaster,
because u are having a dual mode Operating system and u
had Win98 on C:/ whereas XP on D:/ thats the reason
there's no "boot" information on D:/.

2. Are the D:/ drive located in the same H.D.D?
(partition)
Or it's a separate drive (C:/ as Master and D:/ as slave?)

3. If u really wanna take the risk as i did before, u can
follow the instrcutions below:-

a) If it's on the same(partitioned)drive, u can use the
bootup disk on A:/ and type Fdisk,follow the screen
instruction until u can see the selection of "select
Active partition" and from there choose D as your active
partition.Exit from A:/ and restart. You can now reformat
the D:/ instead of C:/ cause of the drives changes.

b) If it's form separate H.D.D, is much more simple then
the first operation, What u need to do is to interchange
the jumpers on your Hard drives from the Master to Slave
and vise versa.On your p.c ,as the first info prompt on
the screen,press "Del" key several times and choose the
function of "detect Hard Disk Drive". Press "Y" on every
prompt Question. Exit and select "save changes". Restart
your p.c and u will experience it bootup from XP instead
of Win98.

best of luck!!!
(disclaimer) i'm sorry if it never works!!!

I recently installed windows XP onto my d drive while
leaving 98 on my c drive just to make sure XP would all
work and i could still get my files. It works but now i
want to format my c drive but there doesn't seem to be
any boot infomation on the d drive, any ideas? When i
turn my computer on it gives me the option of loading 98
or XP.
