Ok so i have 4 partition on 1 harddrive.
1 has Windows 95 installed
1 has win 98
1 has win 2k
1 has xp


here is my boot ini

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
c:\="Microsoft Windows 98"

my win98 is on the D drive. Changeing the C to a D will cause win98 to not boot. (the c in c:\="Microsoft Windows 98"

So my question is...

How do i get win 95 on the boot order?
If i reboot in dos mode from WIN98
goto my c:\win95 folder and run win.com i can boot win 95.
SO my win 95 install works, but i want it on my boot.ini so i can boot right to it.

Anyone have any suggestions
 
sorry bout that it just popped in my head when i saw all these windows OS on your machine but sorry i dont realy know how to do it
 
try installing them on 2 different disk one OS on each might work
 
You're missing all the Linus distro's. But whne you put Mac OS 10 on the 5th partition I'll be impressed.
 
the 5th partition is gonna be server 2003

:: looks around :: do i hear a geek alert
 
Nah, a geek would have the linux distro's. More like a M$ commercial...
 
Not sure how you formatted the partitions or what order you installed the operating systems but you have to follow a certain order.

I don't feel like typing it all out so read.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
