Fdisk, Partitions and drive letter stuff (OS's too)

[DavidCane]

I've just got myself a second hard drive and I want to set things up so that I have the new drive in 2 partitions, the first with Win98 and the second with Win 2K. I want to use my old drive as storage space for MP3s, DVD rips etc.


I've managed to partition my new drive into 2 equal partitions, and I set it as the master drive, but the order in which the drive letters have been assign is a bit odd.

One of the partitions is assigned C:, the old drive in assigned D: and the second partition (on the new drive)is assigned E:.

How can I swap the D: and E: around?

I've used FDisk to partition the drive.

The other question I have is how can I set up a boot menu that will give me the option of booting from either Drive C or D (Win98 or 2000). Do I need to add something to my config.sys?


The reason that I want a separate drive for each OS is that I don't want to share stuff between them. I want them to act as 2 separate PC's.


Thanks for your help

David, it's easier for everyone (including yourself) to follow a topic if you only post your question once. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/biggrin.gif
