Hi I recently installed Win2k Pro(2195) on my Slave hardrive (D:\) and have Win98se on C:, everything has been working great but I ran into a slight problem lastnight,I installed Win2k beta drivers for my Hollywood+ Decoder card and couldnt get the card working so I rebooted to win98se knowing the card had just worked fine there,but I kept getting a "Device not ready" error ..so I then reinstalled the drivers in 98 and it started working fine(I just wanted to watch a movie!) ..well I then went back to 2k this morning and attempted to get it working there,now its not working in 98 (or 2k) again! confused ,I guess for some reason the 2k drivers for the hollywood+ are conflicting/overwriting drivers on my 98 install? is this an unavoidable side effect to dual booting 98/2k even tho they're on seperate hardrives? or am I overlooking something.. Thanks in advance!

Is the Station software installed in a different directory?

When you tried to play it in Win98 and then rebooted to 2000 to play did you do a cold boot or a warm boot?

Gimme an IRQ listing.

Thanks for the reply DosFreak..I finaly got the Hollywood+ working in both 98 and 2k,the problem with 2k was an IRQ conflict (sharing the same IRQ as my TNT2),after fixing that the card worked fine (no more 'device not ready' errors) I then rebooted into Win98 and reinstalled the H+ drivers wich fixed that, still not sure why installing the 2k H+ driver caused it to fail in 98 I made sure it was installing the Dvd station in D:\ rather than C:\, oh well its all good now..Thanks smile
