multiboot
problem with multibooting
Ever since my new harddisk I encounter many problems creating an multiboot enviroment.
This is the problem:
First I installed win98, secondly win-nt server, third win2k server.
Before installing win2k u have to use sp5 on win-nt, otherwise it is not possible to install win2k.
So I did.
What happened is that win2k had removed the bootsector of win-nt.
Than I had to face a problem, which is the os is removed, but not the bootsector.
My question:
1st, How do I remove that bootsector of both the systems, win-nt and win2k, for re-installing these os.
2nd, why is installing several os on one disk giving now that much problems, I never had this before.
What did I do wrong or what did I overlooked?
With regards, Mario
