Desperately NEED YOUR HELP, my question isnt tough, I just dont have experience in that field

I have a 30gig IBM. I partioned the 30gig using fdisk.

I partitioned it as so, 22gigs for 2k and 8gigs for 98se

So I formatted the 22gig partition, installed win2k pro
then I formatted the 8gig and installed 98se

All that went fine, but when I reboot it just boots into 98, and does not give me the option of dual booting where I get to pick my OS, please help me out tonight, I really need to finish this, thanks.

I think you'd've been better off if you had installed 98 first, as the 2k install asks you about dual booting.

Having said that I don't what you could do besides installing a third party software. So why don't you try re-installing 2k on top of the original install and maybe now you will get the options for dual booting.

That's it exactly. Win9x doesnt have an advanced boot loader, where Winnt and Win2k do (also linux does). When setting up a dual boot system the method is installing less advanced OS's first (DOS before 9x), then an OS with a more advanced boot loader(linux before nt/2k, etc.).

cool thanks guys, I'll try that out

yeah, 98 doesn't know another OS is there, and wrote over the boot sector of the hard drive. NT will see that 98 is resident already and put an OS loader on the boot sector. (ntldr i think). anywho... i repeated what everyone else said.
