i have win98 and 2000 installed onto c: i have 2 questions
question 1:
do i scandisk and defrag with win98 or win2000?
question 2:
after i installed windows 2000 i went back to windows 98 and i installed adaptec easy cd creator deluxe 4 for my hp 9100 cd rw, installations in the past have giving me a system file error please restore and the file to restore would be winaspi.dll, now to fix this i would just go to system info under start/programs/accessories/system tools/system information but now that i have 2000 installed i get a error message saying
"this application or dll can not be loaded on windows 95 or on windows 3.1 it takes advantage of unicode features only available on windows nt"
then i get one more error saying the mfc4u.dll file cannot start. ceck the file to determine the problem
how do i fix this cause everytime i boot up in windows 98 i get systle file error
windows/system/winaspi.dll
and like i said the way i use to fix this was just use system file checker from the system information and restore it from the 98 cd
thank you i hope someone can help

1) Whatever you like better! (IMO Win98 does a better defrag job on FAT partitions than the very simple defragmenter of Win2k.)
2) What exactly did you do? I didn't get it. Install Win98, then upgrade to Win2000, then downgrade from (uninstall) Win2000 to Win98??
If yes, then: WHAT A MESS....
If no, what exactly did yo do?
Some generic suggestions: Try reinstalling Adaptec's ASPI driver, and also ECDC 4.0 (uninstall this one before if possible).
Good luck!

PS: Please never ever install Win98 and Win2000 into the same partition! That way, they have to share the "\Program Files" dir, and believe me, that is devilish!!!
