More than dual boot...
Hi there,
I want to use three (or more) Windows versions on my PC. One Win98 for overall use, one Win98 for Cubase and Win2K. All on different partitions, but the same (30GB udma66) HD.
Can I accomplish this by editing the Boot.ini file that comes with Win2K? Or do I need an other bootmanager? (I don't like BootMagic, for it takes too long to load the useless graphical interface)
I now have an empty disk with three Fat32 partitions.
TNX, Harold.

I agree with bchew. Alternatively, you can consider System Commander - the version I use (somewhat old - 3.0x) is quite fast and effective.

Thanx already...
But... When installing Win98SE, my system hangs while Windows boots for 'the first time'. My udma66 controller (hpt366) isn't standard supported by Win98SE. Could this be the problem?

You can try and use mstboot.it's a type of dos base boot manager and it's load pretty fast.another way is to install win2000 first then install each win98 one after another in separate partition.that way nt loader will recognize and allow you to boot to all your OS.
