I upgraded my system from 98 to W2K. It worked for quite
some time. Now when I boot the system I get a
message "operating system not found". I tried booting from
the CD-drive to reload or restore the operating system.
The CD-drive is not being recognized at this point. So I
created a bootable disk for 98 the would load the CD
drivers. This would allow me to insert the W2k CD and
reload the system, so I thought. I am now getting a
message NTLDR file is missing.I am confident the if I can
get the system to boot to a dos or c: prompt I can restore
my system.

This is W98 newsgroup for fat 32 problems and you need a W2K group dealing
with the setup of that system.
