I am sure this question has been asked an answered many times.
But anyways, ;(

How can i get Dual Boot working using boot.ini in WinNT4 under this setup:

First Primary Partition - WinNT4 (NTFS)
Second Primary Partition - Win98 (FAT32)


PS. Does the boot.ini have to be used with WinNT4 or can it be used from the FAT32 Partition when it is set active.confused

I have only ever successfully got the boot.ini file working when i had Dual-Boot between WinNT4 & Win95, when both were in the same primary FAT16 Partition.

Anyway,
appreciateyurhelp:D

I had NT4 and Win98 split on a 4 gig hard disk once with 2 gigs to each OS, and both partitions were primary. I created both primaries with Partition Magic. I then searched the Internet and found a bootsect.dos or some file with that sort of name that allowed the NTFS NT4 partition pull up the FAT32 boot partition and boot Win98.
