You need to have a boot manager. Windows 98 does not provide this.

But you can get one for free at a boot manager site.

I'd suggest getting a multiboot compliant loader such as GRUB (google.com search-> grub) although it seems complicated after reading a little of the documentation you can setup the required partitions.

thank you for your advice i will try this out and let you know if i have any success.dave

If you don't mind paying for a good boot manager which will do backups and drive images as well, I would suggest BootIT NG from TeraByte Unlimited.

Why did you put '98 on both drives instead of making the second drive part of the first drive's Extended DOS partition and adding Logical drives to it?

Do you need two copies of '98?
