![]() ![]() Here are the errors for the following entries i have tried in the boot.ini on Drive 1: Maybe since i am booting *FROM* Drive 1, it is thinking that it is now Drive 0? If thats the case, i have tried setting rdisk(1) for win98, but i get an error trying to boot it. Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="WinXP Pro" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect Notice that XP is using exactly what i just came up with? Now lets look at the contents of the Drive 1 boot.ini again. Partition 1 = Partition 1, only partition on the drive, that is correct. Rdisk 0 = Physical disk 0, thats correct. I want to boot Win98, and Win98 is in C:\Windows on Drive 0 Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="WinXP Pro" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect Heres the contents of my Boot.ini on Drive 1. ![]() Maybe more is needed than a simple boot.ini edit. ![]() I have since reinstalled XP on Drive 1 (from Drive 1) so that it could be used as an independant drive and not have anything to do with Drive 0 (the drive i am about to format.) It does not know that i have another drive with Win98 on it, and thus wasnt added to the bootloader menu. The reason that i have a bootloader on my win98 drive (Drive 0) is that i installed XP originally from Drive 0 to Drive 1, not knowing that it would cause a bootloader to show up. Part of the reason i want to format is to remove the bootloader *entirely* from Drive 0, however i want to retain the simplicity of being able to dual boot from Drive 1. I am formatting drive 0 soon to fix some problems, and am unable to figure out how to properly edit the boot.ini file on Drive 1 to include Win98 as a boot option. I have looked around all over the place and been unable to find a solution to what im having trouble with.ĭrive 0 - 120 gig, 1 partition, Fat32 - Win98ĭrive 1 - 200 gig, 2 partitions, NTFS - WinXP ![]() Hey guys, what im trying to do is add a config option to my XP boot.ini to allow me to boot Win98 from the bootloader on Drive 1. ![]()
