Installed Vista dual boot, think I screwed up!
To make it work, you'll need to have the partition you're starting from (called the system partition) be FAT or FAT32, since that's the file system understood by both Win2K and 98. If you have set up Win2K with NTFS, you won't be able to dual-boot without reinstalling at least Win2K. The easiest solution would be

The terms "system partition" and "boot volume" are used counterintuitively: we boot from the system partition and keep the operating system files in the boot volume. Each computer will have just a single system partition, even in a dual-boot system, and will have a separate boot volume for each Windows installation

The second method was to create a primary partition and restart the computer and boot from the W2k CD.

The Story (was:Re: No dual boot?!?!??)
Sue Morton 867-5...@domain.invalid cakewalk audio No, it's the boot loader that lives in the first partition. You have to have something other than an "OS" to boot from the BIOS, it will determine what OS really boots, next. IMO the dual boot stuff is not worth it but there are reasons for having it.

Reinstall Windows
Boot managers can steer around a FAT32 C: partition by using multiple primary partitions, but I have never tried any of them. NT's Operating System Loader comes free with NT and works well, so I use that. That leaves you to decide how to live with these rules on your own system. The most common way to dual boot
