Hi,
I've been trying the last 2 weeks to set up these 2 HD' to no avail. Numerous people have sent me messages but nothing is working. Finally this is how far I've gotten.
I have gateway 1.7 mgz intel system.
I have new HD from gateway and I put in old HD MAXTOR
If I plug in each HD separate and start up both work fine.
The new HD system has WINXP on it.
The old HD has win98 on it.
As I said...plugging them in by themselves and starting up they both work perfectly by themselves.
Now....
When I start up XP...the computer asks me..do you want to start...
WIN 98 or
WIN XP
Obviously XP see both HD's. I installed a BOOTCHOOSER freeware and it's asks what system I want. If I choose XP it works fine. But...when I choose WIN98 I get this message.
Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware config problem.
could not read from the boot disk.
check boot .. and disk hardware
please check the window documentation about hard ware disk configuring your hardware reference manuals for addition info
okay..now in the bios i have....set
the new XP HD as primary master
the old WIN98 as primary slave.
the jumpers on XP is set for MASTER DUAL DRIVE
the jumpers on 98 is set for Primary SLAVE
Now..right now in order to get to WIN 98 I have to go into the BIOS setup and change the booting of HD to
the old 98 to boot first and XP to boot second.
The jumpers still stay the same.
Now...win 98 will start....that way.
But...win 98 does not recognized the WIN xP drive.
I tried the ADD HARDWARE..still no good.
I can't get win 98 to see the WIN XP from I start it from
win 98
Why do I have to go into the bios to set which HD to boot first in order to get to where I want to go?
The BOOTCHOOSER should let me go there byitself.
WHAT IS WRONG?
WHAT IS WRONG?
WHAT IS WRONG?
HELP ME PLEASE!
