Hello every1!! :D
OK, I installed WinNT 4.0 WS yesterday on a machine...
Today, I installed OS/2 on another partition in that same machine...
When it finished installing OS/2, it restarted and then the screen was like moving all weird, looked like a TV when the channel doesn't exist!! O_O (black and white "ants" moving everywhere...)
I tried booting with Partition Magic, and I discovered that the NT partition was hidden...WTF, so I unhided it...then I booted and it said this:

BOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR
Please insert another disk

and then it just sits there... so then I tried booting with Boot Magic, same message... (seems like its not detecting autoexec.bat in the BootMagic floppy??) so then I booted in Partition Magic, exited it to the A:\> prompt, inserted the BootMagic floppy, and ran PQBOOT.EXE, and there it was Boot Magic... so there I chose the WinNT partition and booted it, the missing NTLDR message again... :(
So I tried it all again, but this time I chose the OS/2 partition... and again, initial problem, the screen was all weirded out...
What went wrong?? should I have had installed OS/2 first??
How do I fix it??
Thanx!! ;)

PS: I just remembered that I also deleted the Boot Manager partition of OS/2 because it only showed me the OS/2 partition, but I don't think that matters... (does it?)

You appear to be undertaking a crash course in older O/Ses, do they run courses at your local COLLEGE ??

Did you format the drive as FAT16 ????? NT4 will see 4GB and OS/2 Warp3 is older than NT4..............

I LOVE old OS's!! :D

And, I don't know which FAT it is...I formatted them both with "FAT", so that they'll be able to read each other's partitions (NTFS and HPFS don't read each other, do they?), here's the partition sizes: (drive is 240 MB)

NT4: ~160 MB (said it needed 122 MB)
OS/2: ~80 MB (said it needed 35 MB)

What else could have gone wrong??
Thanx!! ;)

When I use to dual boot Win98 and OS/2 v2.1 together, I always booted into the OS/2 setup first(The OS/2 Disk Utility is superior over FDISK. I created a one partition that was 125MB for OS/2 v2.1 (Maybe more for Warp 3), and the rest of the hard drive for Win98 or whatever Windows System for Running. You need to leave about 10MB’s of freespace open for the OS/2 Boot Manager. You add both the Windows and OS/2 partitions to the boot manager. Exit OS/2. Insert the DOS boot-disk, runs fdisk, and make the OS/2 partition the active partition. Restart with the OS/2 Setup disk and CD-ROM and install OS/2. When your done, insert the DOS boot-disk, run FDISK again and make the Windows partition the active partition. Restart with the Windows Floppy/CD-ROM and install Windows. Restart the computer with the DOS boot disk and run FDISK again, but this time, make the Boot Manager partition the active partition. Restart the computer (no DOS floppy this time) and the OS/2 Boot Manger should come up with the menu of which partition you want to boot from (OS/2 or Windows), and run whatever you like (and the OS’s should start with problems ) =). It worked on OS/2 v2.1 and it will probably work on OS/2 Warp 3 and above as well.

Yeah, but this isn't Win98, it's NT, which has a better (I think?) boot manager and a better FDISK... :P
I'll try something similar to what u said, and I'll see what happens...
Thanx!! :D

Actually NT is very closely related to OS/2, eComstation is what W2K should of become, but thats another story, try installing OS/2 first.

Yes, I just tried that... it gets past the OS/2 logo screen and then it comes to some errors about 2 missing lines in config.sys or something (which also appeared last time I installed it) and then it shows me a weirded out screen... when I move the mouse I see traces of a mouse pointer 4 times on the screen... :(
what's wrong NOW?? there's no NT installed yet, and the only difference between now and the other time I installed it is that now I put 2 partitions in the drive...
Was that the problem?? how can I change the video settings from command line?? (resolution)
Thanx!! ;)
