Dual boot with 98 and XP--drives not accessable?

[86plymouthcolt]

I have a really strange issue--I have a dual boot setup with W98 and XP Pro.

I have two 20GB drives. I setup W98 on drive 1 in partition C:. I installed XP also on drive 1 in partition D:.

I then created a 4 GB FAT32 partition for W98 for older software and games that don't like XP. The rest of the free space on drive 1 and 2 I committed to XP NTFS.

Now I boot W98 and want to install Quicken to the D: drive (FAT32)--the system tells me" the folder cannot be created. Enter another folder or try another drive."

I can move files into the drive, but it seems the Windows registry won't let me in...HELP!

why are you installing into xp thru 98 d: vs c:?

:Q

if you want it on d: load it in xp


if you want it on c: load it in 98
simple as pie you cant load it into inactive os.

Ok, when I boot up 98--the D: drive is FAT32.

When I boot up Xp, the D: drive is NTFS.

I can do as you suggested, while in XP load the program into D:, but when i boot into 98, it can't see that drive since it's NTFS.

YO dude install it into both drives or you wont see it ,each is independent of each other

What is your EXACT partition layou (primary and logical drives)?

Obviously, the FAT32 D: is not the same as the NTFS D:. I need to see the entire layout of both drives to figure out what is going on. Additionally, how did you create these partitions (would one of them happen to be *dynamic*)?
