99% Certain that your NT drive is formatted NTFS. Win98 can't handle that at all. You'll need to add a second hard drive or purchase Partition Magic. Both are in the $150 dollar range.

First we need to know if it's NT, or 2K that you have, because there's a significant difference.
You partition the drive, into at least 2. Format the first partition. Install 98 on it. Install 2K on the other partition. This should give you the boot menu. If you don't have 2K, but do have the original NT, then things get more complicated. Last edited by reboot; 06-03-2003 at 10:18 AM. |
