Hi All I need to run 2 hard drives both with win98 on them,what the best way to do it.Any ideas much appericated Tks !!

Get System Commander (V-COM) or get a free boot manager here... http://elm-chan.org/fsw/mbm/mbm_e.html

I prefer using the Bios to switch OSs. I have Win98 on two drives. I Installed Win98 on one drive and copied it to the other. I need to use the setup program to switch from one to the other but it doesn't take that long. The advantage of doing it this way is that I always have a backup. If one system dies I just boot the other and copy it over.

A good boot manager achieves what Mark mentions without you having to go into bios to change boot drives. I use bootmagic70 and would recommend it. I haven't tried system commander but I hear it is excellent. For what you want though, the free boot manager may be fine. The only pitfall could be whether it allows you to boot from a drive other than the 1st drive. Bootmagic has no troubles here and I would put money on the fact that system commanded would have no troubles either.

System Commander presents a menu of all available OS boot options, regardless of which drive they are on...select the one you want and away you go.

Tks to all for your recommendations its been a great help

XOSL - Extended Operating System Loader (XOSL) is the world's only full-featured free boot manager with a real, easy-to-use and full-blown graphical user interface. http://www.xosl.org/ I haven't used it personally YET, but comes highly recomended. On The ScreenSavers tv show (on TechTV), there was a multi booter that managed to get "39 seperate and fully functioning operating systems" onto one pc.
