| 132662 | 2003-04-01 10:26:00 | For customers, so when one system goes screw loose, the customer can continue with the other Windows 98, has anybody done it? Until you get around to fixing the faulty system. |

| 132663 | 2003-04-01 10:34:00 | Would need three partitions: 1. For first copy of Win98 2. For second copy of Win98 3. For data. Partitions 1 & 2 above need to be primary. Data partition should be logical. Then use a boot manager like XOSL - see http://www.xosl.org/ Haven't tried it but can't see why it wouldn't go. Make sure that you hide the Win98 partitions from each other when you set up XOSL. John |

| 132664 | 2003-04-01 10:41:00 | Suggest you use Partition Magic to set up the partitions. Hide one primary partition and install Win98. Then hide this one, unhide the other one and install second copy of Win98. Problem is that Win9x likes only one primary partition! | JohnD (509) | ||
| 132665 | 2003-04-01 10:43:00 | Ah, just remember that its the My Documents etc. that'd go on the 3rd Data partition, each installation should keep to its own partition when setting up software or you will be begging for troubles! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 132666 | 2003-04-02 00:28:00 | Just do a image file using Drive Image which will restore main drive again in about 6 mins | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 132667 | 2003-04-02 02:12:00 | i have seen this done tho it was setup so one user used one install and the other users (the kids) used the other. it works tho i thought it was a little pointless as you can still access the data on the other partition. the other problem you have is there is now 2 setups to update and maintain. simplest way to make a quick fix system is to make a restore disk that can auto boot/run and restore the pc back to default. |
