I install a dual boot configuration with Windows 98SE and XP.
Hard Disk 60GB partitioned as follows:
1) (WIN98) PRIMARY FAT32 15 GB (Active)
2) (XP_PRO) PRIMARY NTFS 21 GB
3) (DATA) EXTENDED FAT32 21 GB
I have a problem with the extended partition.
It seems like W98 doesn't recognize it.
It shows the drive letter but popup a message saying that
the drive is not formatted when I try to open the disk.
On the other hand, when I use XP the extended partition works
pretty good.
I use partition magic and the situation changes as follows:
If I delete the partition with partition magic, and then recreate it
with fdisk and format, W98 works OK but partition magic shows the
space of the extended partition as unallocated.
In XP it seem like the extended partition works good. It shows the
correct partition
data in the disk managment (control panel) and in partition magic.
But when I open the drive I can't see the data copied in W98.
It seem that I have 2 different disks working in the same partition.
I don't know, I'm lost
Does anyone could tell what happend with that ??
Is there any incompatibility with the file system between W98 and XP ?
Or what I'm doing wrong.
TIA.
