if u ever get given the leaked asus drivers for windows 98 and have 2000 installed don't try and install 98 along side with 2000, make sure that you install 98 b4 2000 is on there coz it relly screws up with your boot files.

I have been spending all night trying to recover my windows but finnaly did it and lost no settings or important information, thniknig about it i am running better than i was 2 hours ago.

If you really want to put both on, either disconnect your 2000 drive or make it ntfs so that 98 can't see it and install on a secondary hard drive.

to fix the boot problem insert your windows 2000 cd and boot off it choose windows 2000 repair and it will fix the problem of losing the dual boot menu
