XP doesnt recognize 98!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only way to get 98 is thru switching Boot HD in bios...........playing with boot.ini in XP but cant get it to quite work... 98 HD is slave w/three partitions, XP has its own Drive, yes 98 is on the 1st partition .............help!!!!! This is what I've changed it to so far and I get a boot ? but when I choose 98 it says not valid or something and I have to choose XP ..........98 works fine if I change the bios but the other would be nice. Suggestion or and ini file from someone would be cool....don't have mail set up yet so I'm going back to 98 to wait 4 notification and do research [boot loader]
