Triple Boot Problems

[zakkenay0]

OK heres the deal. First i created a C Drive (FAT32), and a D Drive (NTFS) and installed Win2000 on the NTFS. Then I installed Win98 on the C Drive. When I installed 98 of course my Boot loader disappeared even the I did setup /ntldr, and I couldn't get the boot menu back with the emergency repair disk either, so I went ahead and installed BeOS 5 Pro and enabled its boot loader. Now I can get into Be and 98 fine, but when I try to boot into 2000 it just hangs, and I get no boot menu when I choose 98...

Here is what my boot.ini looks like:

[Boot Loader]
timeout=30
Default=C:\

[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\="Microsoft Windows 98"

I don't know crap about editing the boot.ini, or if that would apply since I am using Be's boot loader...

did you point the Be bootloader to the ntfs partition that win2k is on ? are all the os behind the 1024 cylinder requirment ? The BE boot loader is the easy one of them all to set up.

Re reading your post, you installed the os,s in the wrong order. Create three partitions for the os,s all of them have cant be more than 7.50 gigs total for all three os,s partitions. then Install win98 first then win2k then Be. Just make sure you put the check marks in the other os partitions when you set up the be bootloader and rename the partition label to the name of the os.
