Win98 sees WinXP partition, not the other way :-(
If the boot manager manages the boot process by writing new partition
information, then the problem will be with that process. It is not uncommon for a boot manager to boot a specific OS by 'hiding' the other partition. If the partition manager has an alternative way of working, then you may be able to make the partition visible in XP. XP bootloader questions should be asked in an XP newsgroup. AFAIK it is quite possible to install the XP boot manager without disturbing the existing contents of a partition, since that's what the XP installation process does when you upgrade and choose to retain your existing OS. But the XP experts would be able to describe the process. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Lars-Erik Østerud" .@. wrote in message ... Win98se on partition 1 WinXP on partition 2 GAG boot manager Win98 sees the XP partition as D: WInXP does not see the Win98se partition (in Disk Manager it's show has "unknown partition) Before I installed the bootmanager it worked both ways. tried to use XPs boot manager, but I couldn't create the DOSSECT.DOS file with debug from XP Tried to make it from the Win98se partition (set that active), but that file didn't work (only says "no operating system"). Do I have to put the XP bootloader on the first partition and make that active. How do I do that without destroying Win98se on the partition? -- Lars-Erik - http://home.chello.no/~larse/ - ICQ # 7297605 |
