FrogBait4 is an unknown quantity at this point
I guess I'm not making myself clear, what I am trying to do is add a bootable Win98 HDD to an already existing dual-boot HDD. The dual-boot HDD has Win98 and WinXP on two separate partitions, it dual boots just fine.

The 2nd HDD is a Win98 HDD, one partition.

I've been trying various ways to get the 2nd HDD/partition added to the boot menu and then boot it. I can add it easily enough, but it won't boot.

My Boot.ini does not use the multi(0) format for the Win98 (C:\) partition; it uses C:\="Windows 98 SE". I tried to change it to the described MS format; when I do, it won't dual boot.

Just thought maybe someone else had tried it and could tell me what I was doing wrong.

Both O/S's can "see" the 2nd HDD and I can use it, transfer files, etc, I just can't boot it as a triple-boot configuration.

I have Mozilla 1.2.1 on one HDD, and Netscape 7.01 on the other. WinXP has MSIE.

I like to compare all three, but as of now, I have to physically disconnect the 2nd HDD and boot it singly...

I imagine if I'd had it set up for 3 O/S's to begin with, XP would have cataloged them and I wouldn't have this problem.

Maybe next time...
