I have winXP pro and my HDs are like this 1st HD C:\ NTFS 80GB for WINXP 2nd HD D:\ For now is NTFS 15GB later will be FAT for sharing files with winXP / beos / net and users in my PC. G:\ New partition 3GB FAT for testing BEOS 5 PE
So how can I boot to the image of Beos PE to try if is 100% working? I already tryed the BEOS boot disk but it said too many errors.

With most versions of PE you would have a way to make a bootfloppy. The floppy disk that you use MUST be 100% good since the image of the floppy takes up the entire disk. However there is also a way around that. If you have a DOS bootable diskette either dos/win3/9x/me and have two files you can boot to beos. Get loadbeos.com and Zbeos. After booting into a dos enviroment with a dos disk have the files loadbeos.com and zbeos in the path. Type "loadbeos.com" no quotes and it should start up BeOS. You might have to press the spacebar when you see loading... to choose the beosimage. There are other ways also.

I think it should have been with the PE install under the dos path /beos/
If you don't have it http://ftp.ktu.edu.tr/beos/experimental/tools/
