no one knows the solution?

yes both of my partition is fat 32 what can i do? cuz win98 for sure needs fat 32 and i upgraded my xp from windows me (as i said) and of cuz its fat 32 too about the partition i m not sure which one is which i just know i haf 2 partitions normally before i used my windows me exclusively....(by the way..the windows 98 is in another language other than english)...now after i upgraded to xp...xp seems to like being a "secondary" partition because in the partition line in the boot.ini...it said its in partition "2" so what is the problem with both fat 32 and how can i solve it?

thanks but it doesn't work adding the c="windows 98" line doesn't work it tries to boot my windows me (remember i upgraded from me to xp) and of cuz booting winme is no success then i tried to tell windows that my windows 98 is on the other partition ......by doing this multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)c="Windows 98" it just reboots itself when i choose to boot the windows 98 i know many of u guys have got dual boot how did u guys do it?

same thing that just shows the power option in the control panel other solutions? anyone else? thx

so still no one knows how to fix the problem???

no one knows how to create a boot menu? thought this should be an easy problem help!!!! thx

ok thx post it up when u haf it

so xperties u mean u actually haf a faster boot time after running bootvis? i tried it this afternoon, and it slows my boot up time by a lot before, in the boot up windows logo screen, the blue squares go once and a half , after bootvis, it goes like 6-7 times how many times did urs go?

can't be cuz as i said the first time install xp, xp auto shut comp by itself anyone know any solution? especially how do i deal with the 2 things in the device manager please read above thx

so anyone knows how do i add my windows 98 to the boot menu

http://xp.modrica.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=718 in here u guys talked about the power management thingy and u said its under control panel but i don't see it i guess u just meant power option

yes i mentioned the driver thingy many times before and no there is no exclaimation mark or red cross in the apm driver one and yes xp let me uninstall the acpi...but there is no way for me to install the new driver...how? i tried to uninstall the standard computer one but no use..can't...the uninstall option for the standard comp is greyed out so right now just to review my situation under computer in device manager i haf apm (which under properties it said no driver is installed can't roll back, no update for it...nothing) and then i haf standard computer...which the comp seems to be using now..with the irq's setting etc...but can't uninstall thx for helps guys

so you are saying that there should be a "power management" option under control panel? i can't find it drew specifically said its "power option" under control panel, which every haf, but there is not apm in it by the way..i really think its the problem in my device manager cuz as i said..i haf "standard computer" and "acpi" under computer but the acpi has "no driver installed" and only standard comp is working but to haf those shut down option, i think acpi should be the one being used

YOU are the DUDE DREWDATRIP didn't u read my message? i DON'T HAF APM under power options in control panel DUDE DREWDARTRIP any other smarter ppl got a solution?

so then the solution is????????? i read that article before my motherboard=asus cuv4x therefore bios=award bios i tried turning power saving on in bios...no use control panel , power=ups, no apm as i said, i think in device manager..it should be acpi instead of standard computer..how do i use acpi instead as i also said b4, the first time install xp, xp DOES shut down comp for me..just don't know when it started.......it won't shut down easy cd creator=i haf it...=i tried the xp udate=no use=so what is the xp udate use for? now so what is the solution u guys came up with in that article? thx

yes the default is 30 sec right? i set to timeout=0 myself..i haf never seen my win98 on the boot menu before..when i had 30 sec so what do i do now? my xp line is multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect C: = "Previous Operating System on C:" so i tried this for my win98 multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Windows 98" /fastdetect C: = "Previous Operating System on C:" and i tried this too multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)="Windows 98" /fastdetect C: = "Previous Operating System on C:" but both doesn't work 1 say can't find /system32/hal.dll..and the other just auto reboot itself xp=partition2 win98=partiton 1 well..they are on separate partition..that's all i know.. how do i tell xp to be on partition 1 instead?

just a comment i read the bootvis thingy here and tried it...thought it will be a nice thing but disappointed after i tried it that it is pretty useless...in fact..it slowed up my bootup time by like 10 sec or so lucky i got goback on! haha

i don't know when it started, but before windows shuts the computer off for me. Now, it won't...instead, that stupid safe to shutdown screen comes up... under device manager, computer, i don't know why i got 2 entries 1. standard computer 2. ACPI PC the ACPI doesn't haf a red mark or yellow exclamation mark on it..but when i click properties..it said no driver is installed the standard pc one works fine but i read on the web the acpi one should be enabled for windows auto shut the comp...windows won't let me uninstall the standard pc one... i m sure my computer supports acpi..because as i said, windows know how to shut the comp for me before please advice what i can do

i recently upgraded from winme to winxp and i haf another windows 98 in my other partition this is my boot.ini in xp [boot loader] redirect=useBiosSettings redirectbaudrate= timeout=0 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect C: = "Previous Operating System on C:" 1st question is what is the "c:="previous operating system on c:" for 2nd question is how do i add a line to the boot.ini so i can boot to my windows 98 in my other partition using the boot menu in boot.ini thx
