Dual booting
I am wanting to set up my computer to dual boot between
WinMe and Win98. I have read that it is not possible, but I would be using to seperate hard drives not one hard drive with two partitions. Would this make a difference or is it still impossible, if not how is it done? |

To dual boot between Win Me and Win 98 is certainly possible but requires
the use of a third party boot manager such as Boot Magic (part of Partition Magic) from PowerQuest (now owned by Symantec) (http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/) or BootIt NG from Terabyte Unlimited (http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/). -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Paul wrote: I am wanting to set up my computer to dual boot between WinMe and Win98.

To add to Mike's answer, while you can boot 98 and ME from the same hard
disk (if you have one of the boot managers and/or partition managers he mentions), there are almost none that enable you to boot Windows 98 or ME from a Slave hard disk. You should follow Mike's advice and boot both from the Primary Master HD. Shane "Paul" wrote in message ... I am wanting to set up my computer to dual boot between WinMe and Win98.
