I think this a unique situation. There’s gotta be a way thou.
My first drive is a SCSI 4.5 GB with Win98 (my main op/sys). 2nd drive is IDE- two partitions-6GB a piece. WinXP is on the first partition.
Tried to dual boot with Boot Magic. Didn’t work. I think because of the XP and Win.xx mix with two drives-
I tried to modify the WIN XP boot.ini to accommodate Win98 by adding it as a boot option. It would offer a choice for Windows 98, but that’s as far as it got. I’m 99% sure I added it correctly…
Although I will admit I don’t know much about the NT-2000 structure, there must be some way to easily dual boot.
Right now, I am changing sequences in the bios. Since it’s just a beta XP I don’t mind the added labor to manually change it (if temporary).
Is the confusion because the SCSI is independent of the IDE drive, both op/sys are ‘C drive’?
Is there some added modifications I need to do to Win autoexec.bat + config.sys files as well? or does the Win XP boot.ini priority take over no matter what.
Is there a DOS batch file I can make to boot?
I don’t want to move partitions around anymore, so putting Win98 + Win XP on the IDE drive is not an option.
I may try another boot manager.
any other suggestions?
