add 98 hard drive to xp machine dual boot?
I have a popular problem in which I have not found an easy solution: I added a hard drive from my old machine running Win 98 to my new machine running XP. I can access the old drive but I can't dual boot with it. I don't have the software to reinstall these programs. Any solutions?
Thanks, Mark |

I tried some of the "free" boot loaders from various web sites, but I couldn't get any of them to work at all. I know there must be a cheap and easy solution to this.

You need to have windows 98 in the boot sector of the first hard drive (well, not all of it, but it needs to be in the boot.ini) not exactly sure how this is done. Look at the related threads for this posting, there is a bit more detail there, but adding win98 to winxp like you are is not a real simple thing.
You said you can access that drive, isn't that enough? |

The main reason is that my boss is too cheap to upgrade my software. So half of my apps aren't compatable with XP. They won't even work when I use that compatability dealy.
I know about that boot.ini thing but I don't know what path to put in. I'm not sure if that would work anyway. Thanks though. |
