How to change windows boot directory?

I had a copy of Win98se on a computer, I installed another version of it in a new directory on the same hard drive for some troubleshooting issues. I would like to switch back to the original directory, but I can't seem to find out how anywhere. can someone tell me how to tell windows to boot from c:\windows rather than c:\newdows?How to change windows boot directory?
IF you did a simple INSTALL when you installed to c:\newdows then you need to do a simple INSTALL again over the original directory. If you installed a dual boot, then you would see the boot menu at startup.

u gonna have to erase the new windows and boot from the old windows you had, that wasn't very clever after all
Start-------Run-------and type : msconfig --------- now in the fourth tab called BOOT INI you can change it ;)
restart, hit the correct f key....it varies on each machine...expect it to take a while. You have to get into the net bios setting to change the boot sequence, its pretty obvious though once you are in it.



I had to replace win98 on four office machines......had to upgrade to windows xp pro....you can get the update for 199, or the complete bootable disk for 299......your problems will be solved if you completely blow out the operating system.



I then, two weeks ago had to replace the office main, wndows 2000 server......to windows xp pro....it is so much happier!
When you installed the second copy, you re-wrote the master boot record of the disk. You can't modify that. You will have to do a new install to C:\windows. Later versions of windows (2000 and XP) simply mark the MBR to point to an initialising file and this allows for modification.
