Win98 2-byte install after US WinXP Pro?
After the installation of US WinXP Pro, is there anyway to install Win98 Korean version? I have created 2 partitions usiing fdisk, both 20GB FAT. I install XP in the first partition. I can't install Win98 Korean in the second partition. I've tried running the CD instal after booting XP. Won't run. I've tried booting in safe mode. Won't install I've tried booting a Win98 floppy. Won't install I haven't tried booting from a Korean DOS floppy. Actually, I don't have one until I install the Korean Win98, and for some reason, the win98 Korean CD won't boot on my computer. My Win98 US version boots and installs fine, so I don't know what's wrong with my BIOS. Anyway, it's a US computer. There are lots of options I probably haven't tried yet. Like I could even boot DRDOS and go from there. But if anybody has a procedure that for sure works, I'd love to know. I googled around but haven't discovered any answers. Thanks! Rock |

You need a boot manager. XP includes a primitive boot manager, or you can
use a product like BootitNG. With a full boot manager, the second partition can be made to appear as the primary (or only) partition, so a standard install of W98 can be done as if the XP installation never existed. For information on the XP boot manager see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306559 How To Create a Multiple-Boot System in Windows XP -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Rock" wrote in message ...

A drive that large will want FAT32. Galen -- Signature changed for a moment of silence. Rest well Alex and we'll see you on the other side. |

What's scary is I'd missed that. Not once but twice! Unfortunately I don't know if it's time to get my eyes checked or my head checked... Sheesh... Galen -- Signature changed for a moment of silence.
