Install 98/Me After XP is Installed -

Won't work

the OP specifically stated XP is on an NTFS partition

I gave him an alternative reply on on another group



Sorry about your reading impediment!

It specifically states on Doug's web page:

If your C: drive is not FAT or FAT32, you CANNOT complete this
procedure. You will need a 3rd party boot manager. I recommend BootIt
Next Generation, www.bootitng.com

Apparently you did not read past that first line. A third-party boot
manager is one obvious way to do what Drazen wants. Or is that for
some reason not a satisfactory alternative to you??

Drazen also specifically mentioned the possibility of re-doing his
partitions so that C: *would* be FAT32.



Correct

third party boot manager was already suggested


Yes, by me. The only other recommendation of that I see was by Don, who
posted after I posted.
What are you now, the post cop? Or just becoming a full-time troll?
Go find something useful to do instead of trolling.

Don't install W98 to a partition or disk. Instead, install it into a
virtual machine using the Microsoft VM

rant snipped

No someone named Gordon suggested the 3rd party boot manager three hours
prior to your post


Of course that was on windowsxp.general so indeed you may have missed it

Considering this post is not crossposted, but apparently multiposted, I
am obviously not going to see replies to a post in another group, in
this thread, now am I? I'm sure someone posted about 3rd party boot
managers 5 years ago, in some other thread in another group also. So
what? It is not part of this thread and relevant. Kindly stop
trolling.

----------------------------------------






I re-read the original post and see the OP wants to use Win98 to run
diagnostic software to test older H/W so even though running win98 in a
virtual machine is not a bad idea, it really won't work to do what the
OP wants... a win98 native install would be needed

In addition to the good suggestion of using a 3rd party boot manager

there is one other possibility...
and that is simply installing Win98 on another drive entirely

then selecting which drive to boot from in the bios...

*providing of course the bios has that capability*


To avoid a possible disaster I'd disconnect the XP drive while
performing the installation of win98
