I have tried this several times, several different ways.
I have 2 physical hard disks and want to install win98 & winxp as a dual-boot in this configuration:
Disk#1 15GB
partition #1 FAT32 4GB: win98
partition #2 NTFS 11GB: winxp
Disk#2 20GB
partition #1 FAT32 20GB: data
so this is what i tried:
With FDISK on disk#1 I created
part#1 PRImary DOS 4GB
part#2 Logical DOS 11GB
(Disk#2 is already setup)
I was planning on converting part#2 to NTFS later on.
Then I installed win98se onto C:
That went with no problems.
Then I tried to install winxp, but when I get to the part of setup where you select/edit the partitions, firstly, <b>setup reports my disk#1 as only 2xxxMB when it should be 15xxxMB.</b> Secondly, it <b>only shows C: (part#1.)</b> It doesn't see part#2 (which is the partition that I want to install onto) It sees disk#2 normally.
I've also tried not partitioning part#2, just leaving as empty space so that I can create a partition on it during winxp install. BUT the same thing occurs, the physical disk is reported as only 2GB and the empty space is no where to be seen.
Help!!
