Windows-98 and Windows-ME systems have thousands of autumn, Windows-98 compatibility with various application software than Windows-Me, while Windows-Me is strong in entertainment, network application. Therefore, many rookie friends hopes to install these two operating systems on the computer, and I believe that the following methods can help you. To achieve multi-system startup, there must be multiple primary partitions. We often use FDisk.exe partition software only one primary partition on a hard disk. Is there a software to have more than two mains on a hard disk Partition? Yes, the most commonly used is Partition Magic (hard disk partition magician), the latest version of the PartitionMagic version 5. [Abbreviation PM5] is the best hard disk partition management software. Let's take advantage of how to use this software to install multiple systems: 1. Preparation: First, you must get two emergency trays generated by PM5. The first method is to have a registered version, which can be obtained in full installation of PM5, or Produced by [Start] / [Program] / [PowerQuestPartitionMagic5] / [Createrescued "]. PpqBoot.exe under the installation directory (/ program file / power / doS) is copied to the second emergency disk; the second method is not registered, then enter the PM5 software directory [Setup / Windows / Rescueme] Click [SETUP] to make two emergency trays, and copy PQBoot.exe under [/ setup / btmagic / OS2DOS] in the PM5 directory to the second emergency disk. Second, the partition work: in the partition, we must consider three points. If you make a startup menu, there is a startup menu to select an operating system as needed, so you need to be more than 8MB of primary partitions [PRIMARY) ], Used to install the DOS system and start menu; Second, a few operating systems are installed in several [primary] partitions; the third is the registered version of PM5 (non-registered version has time limit), non-registered version must There is a startup menu. The partition method of the WIN_98 and WIN_ME dual system is installed as follows: 1. Delete the original partition: Insert the first emergency disk, and restart the computer, insert the second emergency disk according to the prompt, the computer automatically enters PM5. After selecting the partition, click [Operations] in the PM5 main window menu bar, select [Delete] in the drop-down menu or click the right mouse button on the partition to be deleted, select [Delete] in the menu, pop up the [Delete Partition] window In the cursor, enter OK, and click the [OK] button, that is, the partition is deleted, and the partition is removed one by one. You can also delete the partition with fdisk.exe so that the entire hard drive is "UNALLOCATED". 2, establish a partition: divide the hard disk into 8MB, 2000MB, 2000MB three primary partition [primary] logical partitions the hard disk size. The 8MB primary partition is used to install the PQBoot.exe boot file, and the 2000MB of the two primary partitions are used to install WIN_98 and WIN_ME.
The method is as follows: Select the free partition, click [Operations] in the PM5 main window menu bar, select [create as] in the drop-down menu or right click on the free partition, select [CREATE AS] in the menu, will pop up [CreatePartition] window, the first column [create as] sets the primary partition [primaryPartition] or logical partition [LogicalPartition]; second column [partitionType] set the partition type, except for the 8MB primary partition, select the FAT type, 16 bits Outside the file allocation, other partitions are fully set to the FAT32 type; the third column [Label] inputs the volume, to make it easy to identify the operating system in the startup menu, name the 8MB of the primary partition is DOS, and the other two primary partitions are named WIN_98, WIN_ME, other logical partitions are randomly named; the fourth column [size] Enter the partition size. After setting, click the [OK] button to exit. If the primary partition is "Hiddenfat or FAT32" (hidden partition), you can click [Operations] in the PM5 main window menu bar, or click on the mouse button on the hidden partition. Select the drop-down menu [unhat partition] in the drop-down menu [unHide Partition] to release hidden partitions . Finally, the 8MB partition is set to the active partition, that is, click [SET ACTIVE] in [Advanced]. After the above work is completed, click the [Apply] button in the lower right corner of the PM5 main window, and click the [YES] button, appear in the [Batch Progress] window, can be found in formatting, etc., click the [OK] button, finally Remove the emergency tray in the floppy drive, and click [EXIT] to exit the PM5 in the lower right corner to complete the partition. Third, the installation and setting system: 1 Then copy the PQBoot.exe to the 8MB root directory and prepare an automatic batch file (AutoExec.bat) in the root directory. The method is as follows: Use the command c: / edit 凵 Autoexec.bat to open the automatic batch file, entry The following: @echo 凵 Off pqboot c: /pboot.exe 凵 / p: 1 凵 / A save disk exit. 2, run C: /PQBoot.exe, enter "2" Enter in the cursor, activate the WIN_98 primary partition, copy the pqboot.exe to the root directory of the WIN_98 primary partition, and then install WIN_98 and other software on the partition, and Edit the automatic batch file of WIN_98, join a line in the automatic batch file, content: "C: /PqBoot.exe 凵 / p: 1 凵 / A".
