| 316440 | 2005-01-21 08:47:00 | Hi everyone. I'm having a few problems getting the old computer set up. What I'm tyring to do is get the old computer running with 98. And 98. I plan to get 98 running for my siblings to run their multiplayer games up and running, while having 98SE for me for internet and testing etc. Except that when I boot up it loads straight into 98SE, no bootloader. I'd installed 98, then within that used partition magic to resize the initial partition and made a logical partition to install 98SE onto. I would make another primary partition, but it won't let me. It's an MSDN CD, so the 98 install files are in /win98/setup whereas the 98se are in /win98_se/setup. Therefore, when it asks for the 98 CD, it can't find it (Must copy the contents to the HD). Which raises another issue, it can only see 8GB out of 40GB- no good as a file server. Please help, I'm about ready to throw the thing out the window :dogeye: Thanks, Edward |

| 316442 | 2005-01-21 09:05:00 | how much of a difference is there between 98SE and just 98? can you just use 98SE? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 316443 | 2005-01-21 09:18:00 | Won't work unless two primary partitions are created and when each is accessed, the other is hidden . RTFM - specifically the second section of the Frequently Asked Question 44 accessable above . Read the section about creating and booting to multiple primary partitions . Install Windows 98 on one primary partition and Windows 98SE on the second . Windows 98 will not co-exist with Windows 98SE . Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there - Will Rogers |
