I have 2 hdds in my rig, primary has 3 partitions, 2gb primary that has win98, 6gb primary NTFS and 11gb logical FAT32. the primary slave is NTFS and has win2k on it (old small slow drive). i am finally ready to migrate to w2k as my primary os on this rig, but still need 98se for scanner, kid's games, etc. - hence need for a dual boot.
i am trying to do the dual boot on my big fast drive and keep the little hdd for backups.
win2k on the slave boots and runs like a champ (it's installed as D:\), when i ghost this drive over to the NTFS partition on the main hdd(successfully) on reboot i get 'Invalid Partition Table'. and can boot into neither OS on this drive. using mrbooter i can set up the dual boot (it finds both OS's) but when the loader gives me my options, both 98 and w2k attempt to load w2k with errors resulting that say 'windows 2000 could not start because bla blah file is missing or corrupt'. i unistall mrbooter and i'm back to 'Invalid partition table'. tried fdisk /mbr to at least get win98 back but no go.
any ideas?
