Does it only read the NTFS partition or can it read a FAT partition as well, cause i'm pretty sure my files are on a FAT partition.

I can't access my files though. I don't know if they all got deleted somehow or what, but I don't think they did cause my partition doesn't have any space to reinstall windows. How can I get this installation of windows 98 off that installed when i put in the bootdisk as well? And is there any way of just installing windows xp over the previous version without manually deleting the files? and does anyoen know what winnt.exe does on the windows xp disc? thx

I was trying to turn on my computer today and it said "ntldr is missing". So i tried to boot with the windows xp cd, and i went to the recovery console to copy the ntldr and ntdetect.com from the cd to the c:. And when I rebooted it stil said it was missing. So i tried fixboot and that didn't work. I tried to reinstall windows xp over itself but it says the partition is full and in order to install it I have format the partition meaning i'll lose all my files, which I cannot have. So i tried to boot it with a windows xp boot disk to maybe try copy all my important files out but the windows xp boot disk didn't work. So I used a Windows 98 boot disk and now it seems whenever I reboot my computer it goes into windows 98 and just goes to a screen with the c:\ where i can access cd rom and floppy but not any files on my C:\. I don't know what to do, I just wanna reinstall windows xp but it won't lemme do it without formatting the partition, but I can't lose my files. Does anyone know what i could do?
