Hi,

Recently, i have tried to create a new partition for DOS 6.22 in my Windows ME system. The DOS 6.22 runs well without problem but when i install Windows 3.11 into the partition and boot up into my WinME system, some of the program files got corrupted and fail to run. I even got file that are supposedly small and yet register at around 3~4 Gig in size... Of course when i tried to uninstall the affected programs, the uninstaller fails to work.

Ultimately, I deleted Windows 3.11 and everything works fine after that.

Wonder if there's anyone out there who have suggestions to circumvent the problem.

many thanx in advance
Thomas

Hi
U have not mentioned what partition u are using for WINME,and which is ur bootable partition i.e. partition containing ME or 3.1/DOS.
If u are using the DOS partition as boot abort it and use WIN ME partition as boot partition and start afresh
