I have just obtained a new XP machine into which I have installed my hard
drive from my old 98 unit as a slave.

Is it possible to either;

a) import all my programmes from the win98 os into xp?

or

b) create a dual boot system without having to reformat everything as this
would defeat the object.

Thanks

Yes, you can configure the Boot.ini to accept Win98 in a dual boot. But,
you have to do it thru the Recovery Console.

Hi there,


Followed the instructions, got to the bootcfg command but no matter what I
do I can't get it to detect the win98 os on the d: drive. I tried manually
altering the boot.ini in system also but it wouldn't have it.


Any suggestions?

Thanks

Alun
