How do I set up Dual boot with Win 3.11 & Win98SE on two separate hard drives?

Ok, there is a huge number difference between what I have on
teamanadtech.dhs.org (I'm #74 pablo@netsight.net) and what I have on the distributed.net stats page. Whats going on here? I know that I have some computers that don't flush to the cluless.2y.net server.. but my numbers have gone down drastically in the overall stats!

Can somebody explain this to me?

<confused>

I have researched this subject about 30 hours now on the net and most of what I have read deal with how to set up dual boot on different partitions on one hard drive, but I am going to use two hard drives. I have an old Dell P133 with
Win 3.11 and I want to keep the OS because I have a lot of business applications that will only run on 3.11. I have upped the Ram from 16 to 48 and I would like to operate Win98SE on a separate hard drive in this computer. Each drive would only have 1 partition. From what I have read one article implied that by loading Win98SE into this system that when I press the F8 key during the booting process the Win3.11 boot option would apppear there for me to select. Is this true? Is it really that simple to set up between these two OS's? Thanks guys.

I know that it is posible to Dual boot Win3.x with Win98, but Win98 can run Win16 sofwares in Protected mode Virtual Machine (let you continue to work on the puter while it accessing disk &amp; printer)

Have you try Make Compatible prog in Win98???

MKCOMPAT.EXE store under SYSTEM directory, is a prog that alow Win98 to tolerate strange Win16 prog behavior.

This may be a bit laborius, but you may be able to hide a single drive via BIOS. When you want to run Win 3.1, hide the WIn98 drive and vice-versa. You'll have to go into BIOS whenever you want to change OSes, tho.

Get bootmagic. It comes with Partition Magic...
