Question Partitioning????

Hello and good day!!!
I'm currently using NT4 Workstation with NTFS partition. I tried partitioning
my hard drive with partition magic. My problem is that I'm able to partition my
hard drive and copy files to my new partition but if I restart my computer
the new partion disapears and goes back to the original partion....what could be the problem????

My purpose of this is to be able to dual boot with Win98....

Thanks

If you did try to repartitioning the drive at the beginning I would suspect that you could get some outcome like this - never has happen here - but mostly becaue I don't NT4.0 - but I did repartition Win2k drives - at the end of the partition - no problems.. may you try the end and I also wonder - because if you use PQmagic before you can copy anything you have to at least restart the system - so I actually can't follow your point in this one..the partition have to become "active" or say better have to be reconized by the system unless you can copy something to them - at least as far I used PO magic it was like that..

If you are going to dual boot Win98 and NT4, your boot partition MUST be FAT16 and 98 has to be installed first. I am doing this here - my C partition is 2 gigs FAT16, and I have a FAT32 Win98 partition and a NTFS NT partition. The NT bootmenu controls the dual boot.
