Help NOW with installing win98 on slave "D" drive

[jack62]

I need this done today. My boss is going to kill me if I can't get this to work.

I have win98 installed on C:
It boots up from C: (of course)

I want to install a SECOND Win98 O/S on drive D: (drive d is a second HD and is set as slave)


Drive D has been partitioned and formatted. I partitioned it into ONE BIG DRIVE=D only.
13gigs.

You would think all I had to do was put in the win98cd and run startup.exe and TELL it to install to the D drive. Hehehehh, if it was that easy, think I'd be here?

As SOON as I put in the CD, and it "loads" I get a message saying something like this:

THe version on this cd is older than the version of windows you are currently running so setup.exe will not be functional.

WTH????????

I decided to try the setup.exe anyway, and it looked like it was going to work but it NEVER did give me the option to install anywhere else. And I did that 3 times just to be sure.

The only thing I can of is this: I update win98 regularly from Microcrap website.

I recently installed/ replaced the Kernel32.dll to the latest version from the version that came with the disk. Maybe that's why I am getting that message??

HELP ME> I want a second win98 O/S on drive D so I can boot up to either "system" I want.

My job could be on the line here.
Thanks. Please, please help.

Hey jack

Try this. Use xcopy to copy from one drive to the next. I use this procedure all the time.
Do this from a MSDOS window in WINDOWS 98

type: xcopy /?

This will show you all the switches available to use.

Then type: xcopy c:\location\*.* d:\destination\*.* /s/h/r/e/p/k/*/* (what you want)

READ ABOUT THE SWITCHES FIRST. find what you need. then do an xcopy.
this is fast and effective. Use caution, OK!!

Good Luck.

Your going to need a boot manager in order to dual boot anything. If you don't mind me asking, why do you need to dual boot the same operating system? It's possible that the reason you wan't to do this may be achieved an easier way. Puchasing a boot manager would be the easy way to accomplish this, dual booting windows 9x can be tough to do otherwise, here is a "do it yourself" way you can check out.
