Help on dual boot

I have a boot.ini file on win2k like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
E:\="Windows 98"

But the win98 didn't boot.

Here is what I did:
I installed a win2k on c drive then disconnected c.
I put another HD and installed win98.

Connected win2k as first IDE master, it is C:
Connected CDrom as first slave, it is D:
Connected CDRW as 2nd master, it is F:
Connected win98 as 2nd IDE slave, it is E:

Can some one help me to fix this problem?

I guess the problem is I installed win98 as C drive, but now it is E. All the path info were C:\?

Thanks.
 
If your w2k drive is NTFS, win98 can't start from boot.ini - but you could create a boot floppy for it. If your w2k drive is FAT32, open C:\msdos.sys in Notepad and edit the Paths section - on each line change C:\* tp D:\*.
 
Thanks.
My win2k is ntfs. Could you tell me how to make boot disk?
I made 4 boot disk from the win2k CD. But that is for repair the installation or reinstall
the win 2k.

BTW, how to make emergency disk for win2K?

 
To make the win98 boot floppy, format a floppy using win98 and then copy to it, from the root directory of your win98 drive, the following files: io.sys, msdos.sys, and command.com. Since the w2k drive is NTFS, the win98 drive will come up as C:, so you won't have to edit msdos.sys.
