Its like a stripped down version of Windows 2000 Pro (GUI), fused with Windows 98SE features! I remember back in the day I heard about it's *instability*, but to be honest it has been playing on my real retro system (my sig) for a month, and I LOVE it! p.s. If I could only get the START menu *label …

Everything you do here is far-fetched and pointless. Talk about harsh! :-) If the goal is to have a museum piece that showcases every operating system there is, it's usually easier to achieve with swappable CompactFlash cards. Well, (in my case at least) it is a lot of work: I have to physically …

Hey guys, Update, so I have been able to use System Commander 5000 (and PartitionMagic 7 ) to create up to 4 partitions (primary) to install: - One FAT partition for my boot manager software (either System Commander 5000 , or PartitionMagic 7 ) - Another FAT partition for MS-DOS 6.22 - 3rd partition …

That seems to be the *exact* cause of the issue. I believe I have to shrink/resize my existing Win95, Win98SE, and WinME partitions. If I resize everything under 8 GB, I should be OK, I hope?

Ok, so far, MagicPartition 7 has been my friend! This is how I do it: 1. Install Win95 2. Install Participation 7 3. Create new partition 4. In PartitionMagic 7 set this new partition as Active (this hides Win95, and makes the new a fresh, blank one, ready for installation of the next OS) 5. Install …

Thank you for your informative messages. Based on my research, there seems to be 3 methods to achieve this goal: PARTITION MANAGER METHOD Since Windows prefer to install itself to a primary active partition fdisk is not the best program to use . A partition manager that can hide and set active …

The first question is, why would you want to do this? There is nothing in particular you can do with Win95 OSR 2.5 that you cannot do just as easily in 98 SE. For nostalgic purpose, simply want to have the Win95 OS as well! Win9x has to boot from the active primary partition, which it will …

Instead of disabling it, try to find out why it happens. If you just disable scandisk, a data loss is very likely to happen after a real hard crash. Especially if the FAT gets damaged and there's no scandisk run to copy over the backup FAT (you have that chance only once before any data is written …
