I have a dual boot set up as follows:
HDD1 = 40GB
Partition 1 - 31MB (Dell Utilities)
Partition 2 - 10GB NTFS Primary (System) with WinXP installed (C
Partition 3 - 20GB Fat32 Primary set as Drive D
Partition 4 - 10GB Fat32 Primary set as Drive E
HDD2 = 10GB
Partition 1 - 4GB Fat32 Primary (Active) with Win98 installed
(Drive F
Partition 2 - 6GB "Unknown Partition" with Linux installed
External Zip Drive set as Drive G:
Internal CD-RW Drive set as Drive H:
Boot Manager = OSLoader (www.osloader.com)
The above information is what is described in Computer Management when
I boot into WinXP. From here all looks good.
When I boot into Win98, the drive that was F: in XP is now C: as
expected. I have changed the drive letters on my Zip and CD drives so
that they match what is in XP. I cannot, however, see what were
drives D and E in WinXP. How can I go about forcing Win98 to recognize
these two partitions?
On another subject, any advice on the following would be appreciated.
I would like to set up the system so that I can run the same programs
from either operating system without having to install them twice (I
know that this is not possible with all programs but am hoping that
some will take well to the plan). I was hoping to do this by
installing all of my program in the D: drive rather than on the C:,
since that drive will actually be different depending on which OS is
running. Does this seem like a logical plan - or should I say
feasible, since logic doesn't always mean it will work!
Thanks in advance,
Jim
