BOOTCFG Command ( Updated )

O

Orlando Gondar

I try the bootcfg command on the recovery console and did NOT detect
my Windows 98SE on the Hidding Partition of same Hard drive.

Any tips how to get XP to let me boot 98SE on the hidding
primary partition ?

I tryed this below, but dint work......

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 98SE"
/fastdetect


This also fail......

boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Windows 98SE"

Noticed tha the bootcfg "Scan" dint detect any other operating system.

I have to boot with my Boot Cd into dos, then with Partition Magic, switch
the partitions

Bootcfg can detect only systems from NT line.

You can manually add other systems like Windows 98 or Linux - look into
manual of Bootpart http://www.winimage.com.
