I tried multiple times, but always failed. I have CT50 with CF 16 GB card. Works fine in DOS, but wish to have other OSes on it. When I try to Install Windows 98, it messes my DOS settings. I wish also to have some Linux on it (puppy or DSL - whatever works). How to split Cf card into partitions? What to install in order, to have OS selection menu when powered on?
Win95/98 do have native IDE drivers built-in.
By default, these try to figure out drive geometry themselves.
So unlike DOS, which is bound to older BIOS restrictions, they will
see the whole media at some point. I'm sorry, I can't really help here.
Maybe you can get an older, smaller CF card (512MB, 2GB, 4GB) depending on your BIOS limits.
Then install DOS, followed by Win98. If it works, clone that CF card to your 16GB card and stretch the second paritition
(if present) to full capacity. An older version of GParted might be usable for this job..
If you're using only one paritition,
a tool like Acronis True Image (v7 or 9 ?) might also do it.
Anyway, I'm just replying since no one else did so far. 😅
Edit: Congrats to your one hundredth post! 😁

Thank you pal. I tried to install win98 over Dos, but I had problems with games, they had to be run in Windows dos console.
I will experiment soon with partitions and some boot managers.
Again, thank you for your response.
You're welcome! 😀
