Hi folks and a Happy New Year to all of you,
I am note quite sure, if my post is at the right place, but it is a DOS-problem that I have here:
Until yesterday I had my drive c: formatted as fat16 with MS DOS 6.2. Everything worked fine, even my multibootmenue.
Yeah, I know: Never touch...
But I wanted to get full advantage of drive c: and wanted to use all of its 8 GB instead of just 2 GB.
So, I booted from the Win 98 CD, deleted the primary DOS-partition (FAT 16), created a FAT 32 partition, formatted drive c and successfully installed Win 98 SE.
Before that I made a complete backup of my Soundcard- and Mousedriverfolders and the DOS 6.2 files (the entire dos-folder AND the config.sys and autoexec.bat, which was configured to use multiconfiguration).
I modified the autoexec.bat and config.sys (from the win98 installation) to use multiconfiguration again.
When I now start the computer I get a Windows98 Bootmenu, but whatever option I choose - it always leads directly to win98.
Is there a way to get it working?
Another way might be to press F8 and boot from the copied back folder "DOS" from the previous DOS-version? Havent tried that yet. I Think in order to do that, I will have to rename my 6.2 startfiles to autoexec.dos and config.dos and copy them to c: (?) But the old DOS wouldnt be able to handle the now FAT 32 partition, would it?
Any suggestions?
