I have Win98 & XPpro installed on different hard drives.
When you boot the computer a menu comes up giving you the option of what operating system you want.
I want to format Win98 & start again but want to leave XPpro alone.
How can i find and re-copy this menu to the new Win98 install?
The boot menu has to be in Win98 as Win98 is C drive & the computer boots from C drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
But please give it to me step by step.
firstly, why are you keeping win 98?
use the nt bootloader to boot windows 98.
copy the boot.ini file you are using now and then copy the line that boots win98 into your win xp version it will then give you the choice at startup.
the boot.ini file is located at c:\ and is hidden, system and read only
so either go to a command prompt and type
or try msconfig and their is a boot.ini tab there to edit this file.Code:attrib -h -r -s
I'm keeping Win98
as it's my 4 year old daughters system
around 300 seperate games & learning programs
which some DONT work on Xp
have alchol 120% running with the full 31 virtual drives full
she can't get into any trouble with Win98 as there is NO internet enabled
plus she can't find my XXX on XPpro as Win98 can't see that file system
I'll have it one time. My father installed XP and I still was having Win98 (SE) -Quote:

Now, I only have Win98 (SE) - I think it is during installing, isn't it? I could
ask my father.
