I am trying to make my system a dual boot system to run win 98 with win xp
professional.
I have got 2 hard disks (1 is 120 GB(C and other is 80 GB (D)
I have copied all my data on 80 GB as backup and boot my system with a win98
bootable disk. The Fdisk is not showing the actual size of the disk here. But
when I try to create partition and extended & logical partition after that, I
see the file system unknown instead of FAT32 or NTFS.
When I exit Fdisk and go back to C drive, it says C is invalid media type
abort, retry fail?
1) Now can some one guide me is win98 bootable is suitable to do partition
for 120 GB HD or not. If not then how shall I make partitions for 120GB?
2) How do I check If have FAT32 or NTFS file system and How to convert NTFS
into FAT32?
3) Can I install Win 98 on NTFS system or not ? Or is there a possiblity of
having both win 98 and XP on same file system and if yes then which file
system is suitable and how can I do it?
4) Can some one also advice me if win98 is better than winME, as if i
install winME........after some time it becomes slow and takes few seconds
going into a folder and gives some active X error message on status bar.
I know my questions are very annoying but help would be most appreciated
Many Thanks Folks
