cant install win 98 on second hd
 |
Hi, I'm running win xp on C: 40 Gig.[master] I've installed second formatted hd E: 20Gig[slave].Problem is i can't get into E: to install win98 se. I have a boot disk and installation cd.Could someone please help. thank-you
Hi dmscott1,
Did you format HD E: using Win XP ?
If so did you format NTFS ?
If so.. you need to re-format HD E: using FAT 32 format &
set up a "dual boot" system using a "shell". Win 98 only uses FAT 32 format..not NTFS format.
Hope this is clear

If the stuff advised by RGPHNX don't work yoiu can Try using Virtual Machine a program that allows you to run a guest operating system on a machine that is already running.
