Hello,

I think you need to do more than just install Win98. Not certain if Win 98 will edit the Windows 2000 boot.ini file so that the second device shows up properly in the boot loader menu. If not, you may have to add it manually.

Nope, it won't.

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.
