Hi all,
I've recently added an additional 10gig hard drive to an existing Win98 machine.
I installed WinXp onto the 2nd HD while the Win98 HD was disconnected.
I am only able to boot from either OS after a fury of HD jumper resetting. I am trying to edit the boot.ini while in WinXp so that I can select either OSs during the start up process. Currently the boot.ini file looks like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
So far I have added this under the last line with no sucess:
C:\="Microsoft Windows 98" Failed
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\C:\="Microsoft Windows 98" Failed
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)C:\="Microsoft Windows 98" Failed
However it does show a selection of WinXp & Win98 during startup, but only WinXp works. Win98 either restarts the PC or locks it up.
Any Ideas??
