While I was running Win 98, I put in the Windows 2000 cd and started the setup. I clicked in the advanced options for the Windows 2000 setup to ask me which drive to install the OS to. (I have 2 hdds: first w/ Win 98, second w/ 2 partitions, one w/ nothing and one w/ backup stuff.) It started copying the files, to where I do not know. It started to reboot and after it shows the screen showing all the devices/hard drives, it then goes to a black screen and stays like that forever. Is there anyway I can boot my system? If I can't boot it, what would I have to do to get the files (I didn't backup everything that day.) from the first hdd w/ Win 98 and transfer some files to my other computer (w/ Win 98)? (Would there be any boot issues on my second computer, so I could boot my other computer and just view the unbootable Win 98 hdd?) Thank You.
