Hi Oxzer, you need to fdisk your master boot record(don't worry this will NOT delete your partitions or OS). To do this insert a windows 98 "bootdisk" and boot to command prompt.
At the A:\>
type " fdisk /mbr" (without the quotation marks and with the space after fdisk) and hit "enter".
Then type at the A:\>
"SYS C: " (again without the quotaion marks and with the space) press "enter"

restart your machine

Good luck and happy computing
