OK,

I followed the tutorial on tech-hints.com and now i'm really stuck

whenever i go to boot the setup(s) refuse to boot

heres teh ext section in my autoexec(s). what's wrong with them?

win 98:

:EXT

LH %ramd%:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:%CDROM%

echo.

cls

echo Now Installing Windows 98 SE

echo.

echo Loading...

path=%RAMD%:\;a:\;%CDROM%:\WIN98SE\

SETUP.EXE

echo.

goto QUIT

win NT:

:EXT

LH %ramd%:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:%CDROM%

LH SMARTDRV.EXE /q

echo.

cls

echo Now Installing Windows NT 3.1

echo.

echo Loading...

path=%RAMD%:\;a:\;%CDROM%:\NT31\

WINNT.EXE /B

echo.

goto QUIT

Please Help ME.

Perhaps you must more explain the "refuse to boot" ! like a screenshot in vmware ... error message and ... nobody here can help you by magic ^^

maybe the MSCDEX didn't fix the variable %CDROM%, so setup couldn't be found. Win98 and WinME uses findcd.exe to fix the variable %CDROM%, so they can install windows.

If you want, I can send you a boot disk that will auto start the Win98 installation, so you can modify the boot image to install Win311
