Right now i put 98se on a new 320GB sata drive and got it to start by using the following in the system.ini file.
[386Enh]

The motherboard is a asus P5E with the x38 chipset, all i'm concerned with getting to work is the video, mouse and anything for the chipset that may help.

Also how can i manually add the MBR for a dual boot?

Have you considered running 98SE in a VM (virtual machine)?

Ditto to this. Win9x has a slew of problems with newer machines, particularly with 48bit LBA and problems relating to the high frequencies of today's processors.
 
Yeah I'd see if VMWARE or Virtual PC or something could just run 98 in a VM.

You should have mouse, keyboard, emulated basic SVGA support (maybe no fancy Voodoo 3D or whatever), serial ports, and maybe a few other things depending on your VM software.

 
If I recall, 98 got weird with 512mb of ram and would completley crumble to pieces with 1GB an dup.
 
VM has to run inside a OS right? That is of no help to me. I need a dual boot with two OS's that can copy each other without problems. XP can't copy xp and i dought vista would copy a OS and delete xp without problems.

What i do is store two OS's from a dual boot setup on another HDD then when i need to replace a system that gets corrupted it takes 5 mins to delete that system and use the other to copy the fresh backup in place.
 
All you need are partitions. Put windows on a 50-60GB partition and use the rest of the hard drive for your data. It is then fairly easy to reinstall an OS.

I don't reinstall, i use a fresh uncorrupted backup that copys over in 5 mins. reinstalling windows and all the drivers and software is what i'm avoiding.
