XP uses NT filing system if I'm not mistaken.  98 uses FAT16 or 32.  I
don't' believe you can stick a Fat formatted disk in a box which is using
XP.  If you tried that and got the garbage, that may be why.  Find a box
that is using FAT format(16 or 32 depending on how you set up 98, you
probably used FAT32) and plug it in there as a slave and see what you get.
Also, instead of trying to boot into windows, go into the BIOS setup and
change your first boot device to a:\ and then when you dual boot, choose 98
and boot from a DOS floppy instead and see if you get a C:\ and then see if
you can read your disk.

>What windows version?

98... I've got a copy of Nuts And Bolts 98, but the only other operating box

I have is an XP machine, so I don't know if I can install it on here or not.

I thought maybe I can hook my cooked HD up as a slave on this one and run 
something from N&B to mess around with it - I'm not sure if it even has 
something that would help me, though.
