The problem is WNT cant go on a different HD than W98 is (must be on C: Drive) so I'm now experimenting with W98/WNT I also had trouble installing Win98 on anything other than the "C" drive. It is only an installation problem. That is why I recommended installing NT on its hardrive with the second harddrive unplugged and then installing Win98 on its harddrive with the NT drive unplugged. One then plugs both harddrives in. Each OS is in affect installed on the "C" drive. The C drive is not imprinted on the drive, it is assigned by the OS on boot. When you boot the NT drive first it is C. When you boot the Win98 drive it is C. Zeuspaul

Just as ZP says. You want the two OSs to be on different hard drives, but when you boot you will label the drive containing the OS you want to boot as the C drive with a bios setting. For install he can do it with cables and/or jumpers. To restate yet a slightly different way, here are possible instructions for Minotaur: (1) Configure disks and install NT on C drive (2) Reconfigure disks to make other drive C drive (3) Install Win 98 on this "C" drive (4) Reconfigure hardware as before, so NT drive is C drive again (5) Ship
