Hello Mr. Rajil Saraswat,
I tried to make the boot partition using Partition Magic software in the
first part of my hard disk. But still the partition is made only after my C:
drive [prinary partition ]. So what should I do ?
How do u suggest to make the boot partition in the first 1024 cylinder of
the harddisk.
As I mentioned I also have win 2000 professional installed.
Should I uninstall both win 98 and win 2000 and then make the boot
partition ?
Watiting for an early reply.
Thanks
Sunil
