prctr Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Thanks, powerless. Another example of the answer to a question I didn't have to ask (at least not again - I'm slow on these things. :D )I appreciate the information. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drovers Dog Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 :P Having a Win98SE/XP Home System, I must ask? Powerless, have you actually set up a Computer this way?I am really interested, Win98SE is a very different System to XP!When I Partitioned my HDD, I created 5 Partitions, so that any Information I really needed could be stored in a place not affected by reformats! All those Partitions were created under fdisk from the Win98SE Start up Disk, and formated, each one, before anything else!To keep it all compatible, When I installed XP Home, I used Fat32, the same System that Win98SE uses!!I admit I had a few problems at first, but these turned out to be Hardware related!Which meant a few reinstalls, during which my current HDD, at the time, carked itself! (Blew up) I lost heaps of Data, not saved elsewhere!Now the Systems are up and running, it is really great, but be warned!!!! Save every thing, to CD's or another HDD!! Before you even try to do it!Just remember you have to set up the whole System to the oldest version of Windows first, then the newer ones can over write that! You can never under write a Windows System! :wub: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 :P Having a Win98SE/XP Home System, I must ask? Powerless, have you actually set up a Computer this way?Yup.But now on XP all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drovers Dog Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 :P Have you used the Win98 Boot yet to do things?I am curious? :wub: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drovers Dog Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 :P The reason to ask, I used Win98SE on the Net, but wouldn't allow anyone to use XP Home at first!When I went on the Net with XP Home I noticed it! :wub: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drovers Dog Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 :P BTW a Link from Pit Stop regarding my System, if you click on Drives you can see the five Partitions I set up!http://www.pcpitstop.com/TechExpress.asp?id=NUY0AWKK7TUSB6XEThe reason for the problem with the Net is I am on Dial up!My XP Home is on D:/Drive!The Test was done under XP Home, aka D:/Drive!I can Post one under Win98SE, aka C:/ ? :wub: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Drovers Dog Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 :P Ok, Just needed to know?I find that the Win98SE System has heaps of conflicts on line!!But enables one to do different things, that later becomes a Pain, because the IP Address is not the right one?JMHO! :wub: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 98SE isn't all that bad.I just don't like 95 (prior to USB support) and ME, because it just sucked.anything else was fine for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Haven't read it all yet, but would it be complicated to add Win 98 to already dual-boot XP Pro and Mandrake 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I did beta testing for XP so I was dual booting 98SE and whatever XP was called at the time because that was the way things had to be. You couldn't just have the new trial system there without an "official" system to fall back on.As soon as XP was properly launched, my machine was reformatted with XP only and I've never looked back.I can only think of one reason to have an obsolescent system on a new(ish) machine and that is to be able to use obsolete/obsolescent hardware/software but, as that must be now due for its museum case, XP ought to be the only O/S that is even considered for use - unless of course you go for one of the less common systems.Excellent guide though, yet again, powerless!!

Scarecrow Man Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Haven't read it all yet, but would it be complicated to add Win 98 to already dual-boot XP Pro and Mandrake 10?Installing 98 after XP is hard enough. Good luck doing it with Mandrake on there as well! :D Maybe try Partiton Magic? There is an option to "install another operating system" in the tools or something like that. I've never done it, so I can't recomend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
