If so, uh, tell me I misunderstood you <g>. Surely we are miscommunicating here.

Did I say that?? I would put Win98 in a directory/folder called Win98 and NT in a folder called NT4 (or other name)..just not both in a folder called Windows..which is what I understood Clarence to say he did..which he now says he did not do...but maybe he said it and did not do it..we can go back and look but I am busy playing DOOM<g>

OK , I went back and looked

Clarence said #reply-7746105

expect the problem is connected to w98 and nt0 being in the same directory

Zeuspaul said #reply-7746295

Now that you mention it<g> It is a good idea to put NT and Win98 in separate directories

The only way I was able to install NT on my machine was to install Win95 first...used a clone..long story..already been told..maybe I could have done it another way..

Anyhow it is where I stand now.

I want NT on an NTFS partition by itself. One option is to buy an 8.4 gig drive..or use one of my existing 6.4s and do a direct install.

What if I want to tinker with the existing NT/Win95 combo on the primary? How do I uninstall Win95. Can I just delete the Win95 directory and then modify the NT boot file?

Ok, you force me to comment. If I understand what you're
saying, you would actually put (say) both Win95 and WinNt
into the same directory (ok, call it folder if you want)?
That is, you would install 95 and NT both into a directory
called, say WINDOWS? In the same partition?



Will this even work??? I would consider this begging for trouble...
