    Recovery Console Question

    Just finished installing 98, W2K, and XP Pro in that order.

    Actually my 13 year old son did the install.

    XP wouldn't allow a decision as to what partition to install on so it's with 2K but it works.

    A few ?'s though.

    1. Is XP or 2K controlling the which OS "boot" screen at startup?

    2. I want to install the Recovery Console for 2K and XP as a boot option. Can I do both?

    3. Is there a way to auto log onto the network in 98 or am I stuck with actually having to hit enter?

    There is no password.

    If I hit escape then I'm not logged on.

    If I hit enter then I'm logged on.

    Everyone should have such problems.

    TIA,

    Bill

    1. XP is the boot system.

    2. No need - XP can do both.

    3. Use Tweak UI > Logon:
