I am having trouble with a dual-boot between W2K and W98SE and I explained it and four people made fun of me instead of helping. I still don't understand why pople do that.
Now for my problem.. W98SE was installed first and running fine for six months and I decided to try out W2K so I installed it and when it gave me the option to delete\partiton\add to the HDD only add worked so I went ahead. Everything worked fine but my modem was instaled as a standard modem and connected to the internet at 9.7Kbps so I set up the connection speed atthe highest possible(113,200 or whatever)and installed the drivers for my 3Com\USR External modem which W2K found on the 3Com cd for me. Thats when I started getting the "Remote Access Service" error whenever I tried to click on the internet. I tried shutting off some things and switched Com1-2 and it worked fine ONE time but locked up the system in the middle of the download. Now I just the RAS error. When I tried to reload the OS to repair it I got as far as the installing of the Cab.inf file which it now cannot find on the CD no matter which drive I use. So I think I will try the OS on a new HD drive when I find the time but now I think I'll have to reformat and reinstall W98SE to get rid of the corrupt W2K install 8-( unless someone can help me. I did everything the directions tiold me to and this what happens. I don't see where my error was but would like to understand what hapned. Thanks in advance! Matt
Please repost your issue with a proper title. I am locking this down before it becomes a flame war.
