Or if you have an empty bay and cost is not an option, install 98/98SE onto the new bay then as your needs change just swape the cable from one to the other. Or partition with to prinary partitions one having one OS and the other having the other. Switch the active one via FDISK/BIOS. -- Sincerely, Andrew H. Carter |

win me back to win 98
Generally speaking, products that run on W98 will run on Win ME--are you
sure about the need to change systems? -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Andrew H.

Or partition with to prinary partitions one having one OS and the other having the other. Switch the active one via FDISK/BIOS. Boy was I ever unclear. What I meant: If you have an empty bay available, get a second HDD and install 98/98SE onto that and if you don't have enough connexions to have both the ME drive and 98 drive hooked up then swap as the need arises. Yet, from what I understand there should be no problem running 98/98SE proggies on ME. Shoot, I have 98SE and can run 95 and even some 3.1 proggies. Sometimes all it takes to run a previous OS file/application is the addition of a vbruntime file, methinks I have vb3,4,5, and 6 runtime dlls on my comp. Just because it says you need such and such doesn't meant that it is carved in stone. Might be that such was the only platform upon which such was tested. Yet like music threory, software can have it's limits. -- Sincerely, Andrew H. Carter |
