EDIT: Just looked at the NTFS for windows 98 site, need to copy files from the NTFS drive beforehand Nooooooooooooooooooo!
Actually, all it needs are two system files. These can be copied from the XP Boot CD.
XP always balls up for me, and it's mostly because of Windows Explorer. When I close Windows Explorer at times (this can be random) the shell of Windows will crash, then restart so then my task bar doesn't have the icons that I need to see such as SETI's ones, then I have to kill the processes then restart them.
had a similar problem with one of my systems. turned out to be RAM conflicts, one card was pc100 the other pc133, although it would run it would crash between 10mins - 3 hrs
