Hello. I'm trying to dual boot Windows 98 with ME. I've setup logical drives with FDISK and installed 98 on drive C:. Then I installed WIndows ME on drive D. I was expecting to be greeted by the 'boot loader' upon reboot, but instead my computer when straight into loading ME. I've dual booted Windows 98 with NT, 2000 and XP but never tried 98 with ME. I think i read somewhere that it is not possible to boot 98 and ME? I've tried editing the boot.ini with no luck any ideas?
Without a boot manager, no. Now, I think I did it once with Linux or Windows 2000 installed after 98 or ME, but I can't remember. I guess the question I have is: why would you want to? ME is probably the worst OS Microsoft has come out with, as it's a less stable version of 98.
I'm doing a CompTIA A+ course followed by MCSE so i need access to all of Microsoft OS's from NT4.0 and beyond. I'm fully aware how useless Millennium is, and feel sorry for all those people who bought a new computer thinking it was a NEW OS. If only they had waited a year later for XP...
I used ME for about a month, got sick of it and went to Win2k. The Win9x OS don't have a bootloader like the NT OS's and Linux do. Basically, what you'd want to do is install NT last, but install the other OS's as you typically would. Make sure the drive is partitioned and formatted as needed for each OS, and remember that Win9x can't read NTFS, so you probably shouldn't have the first partition as an NT OS if you use that filesystem.
Let's say I have 2 hard disks and Windows 2000/XP installed. Is it possible to move the 'documents and settings' or 'my documents' folders on to the second hard disk without screwing everything up? That way, one hard disk does most of the work with the OS and the other is simply for personal files.
