How to recover Win98 & Win XP dual boot?

[RoCo]

I have the following scenario:

I had dual boot Win 98SE (C:\) and Win XP (D:\) - two separate partitions. For a reason I had to format C: and reinstall Win 98. I now have difficulties to enable the dual boot. It is fairly easy done between Win 98 and Win 2000 because W2K can create an Emergency Recovery Disk, which can be used to restore the boot sector. However, I didn't find such option within Win XP. Any help greatly appreciated!

Boot from the XP CD, bring up the recovery console & do a "fixboot"

I tried this as well as fixmbr and it didn't seem to work...

I've had that happen also, but I never did figure out why.

Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't do anything.
