Windows NT 4 Workstation problems (dualboot and partitions)

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I recently tried to install Windows NT workstation 4.0.

 

I was told that if I already had Windows 98 (which I did), NT would recognize it, and ask me about dual boot. However, when I finished installing, the only 2 boot options were Windows NT 4 and Windows NT 4 (VGA). So as a temporary resolution, I marked the Windows 98 partition as bootable, and took the flag off the NTFS partition.

 

Windows 98 is installed on the first partition on the primary master harddrive (drive C :), and the NTFS partition is the partition after that.

 

The other problem that I'm having, is the partition. In Windows NT, it shows that I have 3 partitions, but I've only made 2.

 

The other thing, is the second partition (first partition on primary slave, D smile is recognized by NT, but it doesn't recognize the file format, and it asks me to format it. In Windows98, it recognizes the partition as a FAT16 partition (which I made it as), and it has data on it.

 

I created the FAT16 partition with Linux fdisk, file type as WIN95 FAT16 (LBA). The partition size is around 3GB.

 

Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Jeff
