I have a multiboot system. I tried to install W2000 over
W 98 in the partition where I have W98 . Now I get the
error c000007b. I was adviced to reinstall, however I am
unable to get to a position that will take me to W98 to
reisntall since when I start the system it takes me to
the blue screen showing noted error.
Is ther a way to unistall the 2000 files that have been
copied so that I can start in W98.
Is there another way to install without damaging programs
or data in W98.

You didn't mention the drive controller (possibly SCSI, or ultra DMA, or
ATA100, or raid, or serial ATA), but you may need to boot the Windows 2000
setup disks or CD-Rom and *F6* very early and very important (at setup is
inspecting your system) in the setup to prevent drive controller detection,
and select S to specify additional drivers. Then later you'll be prompted to
insert the manufacturer supplied Windows 2000 driver for your drive's
controller in drive "A"
If you wait and then S to specify additional drivers, then it may be too
late as Windows 2000 Setup at this point may have already assigned the
resources your drive's controller is wanting to use.

Nothing to do with the drive. It's the drive controller.
