Subject: Dual boot W2K/W98 problems on 110
I just set up a Fujitsu 80GB HDD in my 110, and have W2K and W98SE dual
booting. But I’ve been at it for few days now, and have failed to sort
problems getting audio for Margi DVD-To-Go to play in through the Lib speaker
in W98. I had no problems with this on my 40GB HDD.
I’d like to reformat the W98 partition and reinstall W98, but I see there’s no
files in the root folder for W98 on my D:\ extended partition. I’m worried
that if I reformat and reinstall W98, W2K’s boot loader my not be able to see
the new W98 installation.
W2K is installed on a ~4GB primary partition as C: .. and W98 is installed on a
~4GB extended partition D: after the W2K partition. There is a blank space of
~100MB following D:, and a ~72GB E: extended data partition after that.
I see Phil’s still reading the list messages (is the server is working), and
hope he might now how this might work.
It's not simple as you may ruin the W2K boot stuff. This is the wrong
installation order (W98 should be first, then W2K, but now you need to
do it in reverse order....).
Make sure you can somehow boot into W2K from CD-ROM. That will allow you
to (in a later stage) use the recovery console to run fixboot etc. I
never did that BTW, so others may have better ideas.
If that's OK, simply reformat D: and reinstall W98.
Then reinstall W2K's boot stuff by booting from the CD-ROM (using the
four floppies IRC) and then do something like repair or recovery console
. It's not that hard, I just forgot how and what exactly.
BTW I do not read the list very often. My Lib is decommissioned, just
occasionally it's started up.
