Anyone know a way to force Win 98 to install on a drive other than C: ?
I've got 2k installed on C: right now. . .
 
I think you might have to install 98 on youc drive. There is a way around it though. unplug the drive with 2000 on it and just install 98 on the other drive.

Is 2000 NTFS? if it is then you can leave it like it is. If it isn't you might have to put the 2000 drive as slave and change drive boot order in bios. If you leave it like it is and 2000 is fat32 98 might try to write to the drive when it boots up. (I'm not really sure though.

I have XP on a raid controller (Ide 3) and win98 and a storage drive as master and slave and I haven't had any problems at all.

You might try www.ntfaq.com and see if there is anything there that would help you.

Good luck, I wish I was more help,.

Thanks for the reply!
That would be a good solution, although it is one drive that is partitioned into two. I've prepared to format the drive & redo it, I was just hopin I didnt have to

I really think 98 needs to be installed first, then win2k. But there might be a workaround, but the loader for 2k will find 98 and set up a boot screen for you. It doesn't work the other way around automatically.

I know you have the choice of where you install 98 during the installation. Can't remember if it lets you pick a different drive or just the folder though.
