I just installed Win XP on a secondary drive in my system here.

My condolences. Uninstall and replace with Win2K.


I have a couple of queries but not sure which group's best to go ask.

One that ppl here may know. I suspect that NTFS paritions can't be read
by W98.
That means I shouldn't have converted from FAT32 I reckon. Duh !

Another oddball one. XP doesn't like my Highpoint 370 Raid controller it
seems.
Even though I got the XP driver from Highpoint's site, XP baulks at it,
complaining about an ini file being wrong.

Anyone running dual boot btw ?

Any clues welcome.

Hello Graham and Jim,

I have XP on my newest PC. There is nothing better when it comes to any kind
of USB-devices these days.
XP is better in recognizing USB devices than W2000. WIN98 is so bad here,
that it isn't worth to name it.
Many big companies have now switched all there PCs from W2000 to XP.
XP will require a more powerful PC of course. It's no fun with a 500MHZ
Pentium.

Dual boot requires to first install W98 and then XP or W2000 on a different
partition.
I expect the order of installation has to be in the order of their advent.
At least WIN98 must be installed first.

Best regards,
Helmut
