Also talk about multi-operating system coexisting (WIN98 and WINME)
Lehong
There are many articles to introduce methods that make multiple operating systems coexist on the hard disk. However, many people think that only Win9X (including WinME) and WinNT (including Win2K) or multiple Winnt (including Win2K) can be existed, and WIN95, WIN98, WINME is incompatible, and it is impossible to coexist. In fact, as long as it is slightly improved, Win9x can also coexist. The following is a brief introduction to the method coexisting with Windows98 and Windowsme.
First, let a slightly understand the Win9x boot process. Although Win9x is a manner that is separated from DOS (more than Win3.x platform under the DOS system), it still uses DOS boot mode: read and execute boot record, then press in order Import Execute IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, and finally loaded with Command.com to boot Windows. In fact, the decision The system is a graphical interface or the text interface is a msdos.sys file. If you are interested, you can use the Notepad or "Type" command to open the file on the Win98 boot disk (floppy disk) with the hard disk with Win98 system. What is different; try to see the file on the WIN98 boot disk on the hard disk to start with the floppy disk. Length, return to theme, the reason why Win9X is not compatible, it should be an incompatible phenomenon, because Win9x is started in this way, so that each Win9x system is installed, the latter system Both will be overwritten on the startup file of the system installed, only the launch file of the last installed system, can only start the last installed system.
The reason is found, how to solve it? The first step, first install a Win9X system, which is installed, it doesn't matter, there is no version order (I am installing WinMe, but my "computer level test simulation question" requires pure DOS environment, helpless only installed Win98 It is worth noting that if you are equally installed with me, you must start using the WIN98 boot disk when you install WIN98, install it in the DOS environment, because the operating system is upgraded from a high version to a low version! "If you It is the Win98 installed first, then upgrade it directly to WinMe directly in Windows98. It is best to change the system's default C: / Windows directory name to distinguish, such as: C: / Windowsme, E: / WinMe ... ... Step 2, after installation, make a WinME boot disk. In the third step, send the MSDOS.sys file in the C drive to the A disk overwritten the original file. And rename the IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, MSDOS.sys, and command.com files of the C drive, MSDos.me, Command.me. In the fourth step, install the second system, fifth step, after installation, make a Win98 boot disk. Send the A disk overwritten the original file with the MSDOS.sys file under the root directory of the C drive.
Such Win98 and WinMe are also in your system. At this point, the hard disk or WIN98 boot disk start system will enter Windows98; start the WindowsMe to start with the WinMe boot disk. If you want to start Windowsme with a hard drive, just rename the IO.SYS, MSDOS.sys, and command.com files under the C drive in the Windows98 environment, and will name IO.98, MSDOS.98, Command.98, and CA The IO.ME, MSDOS.ME, and command.me files under the root directory are renamed IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, Command.com. (Note: Reverse Operation - Starting Windows98 with hard drive, you must change under Win98, because WinMe is turned off, restoring some system files caused hard drive boot failed) If you have other operating systems on your computer, I still have three The version of Windows2000, you can try to write a batch program, double click on the self-made "win98.bat" to automate the various steps of the rename, and then select the one that is not Windows2000 (general "Microsoft Windows XX. ", You can modify in the C: /Boot.ini file) will enter Windows98. The content of the specific batch file is not detailed, in particular reminding: in the batch file, must first use "attrib xxx.xxx -h -r -r -r -r-r-s" to remove three system files, only Read, system properties.
In this way, in theory, as long as your hard drive is large enough, you can completely let Microsoft's DOS, Windows3.x, Windows95, Windows97, Windows98, Windows Me, Windows2000 Professional, Windows2000 Server, Windows2000 Advanced Server (I use is After five types), more than a dozen operating systems such as Windows XP and other or even Linux can coexist on the same hard disk. If you are interested in this, there is a massive hard drive, you may try it yourself ^ _ ^
Although it wrote a lot, it is not too much trouble. I hope that the colleagues who have this issue can help. If there is an incorrect, he still looks at the prawn guidance.
