hey,
i had my machine working with windows 98se on a 40gb hard drive..
i need to use sql server on that machine, so i was going to put in a spare 8gb hard drive i had lying around as a secondary machine, install winxp on it, and use that for my sql work.
i temporarily unplugged the 40gb drive and installed xp on the 8gb by itself to get it up and running, then hooked the 40gb back up.
now, when the 8gb xp drive is master it boots up to xp fine, and i can see the 40gb as my d: drive..
i went into the boot.ini editor and added the following:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows 98 Second Edition"
when the boot loader comes up, i select windows 98 and it starts to load and then gives me an error about not finding "hal.dll" in the system32 folder. i put this file in the win98 system32 folder and it gives me an error about not finding "ntoskrnl.exe" in the system32 folder. putting this file there then gives me a "dll not registered" error.
now, these are nt system files, so it should not be looking for them on my 98 partition, should it?
any ideas how to solve this problem? did the disconnecting of the 40gb win98se drive during the winxp install cause this?
thanks in advance.
