I own Windows NT Workkstation 4.0. It's on Hard Drive "C" in Fat 16. It has 3GB. I am a student at The University of South Florida, studing for my MCSE Cert. I have the student version of NT Server 4.0 that came with my study Materiels. I want to install on my Hard Drive "D" that is formated in NTFS, This Drive is 2.5GB. When it boots up, I want to be able to choose between drive "C or D" I think I've tried almost everything from creating start-up disk from my Windows 98 Machine To try and Fdisk and change active drive to coyping all of the CD to the "D" drive on my NT Machine and trying Startup.exe. I'm lost. I need Server to do my IIS and other test tasks. Please can you help me? I'm sure it can be done I just don't know How. Thank You ---->Jim Matheny

I think that your problem might be that one drive is FDISK as the primary partition and the other drive is FDISK as an extended partition. A system will only boot to a primary partion. As long as you are in the postion to FDISK then (NO DATA NEEDED). FDISK both drives and set them both to primary partions. This may or may not work. If it does get a program called System Commander which allows you to boot to mutiple OS's...

Fucken guessing TopGun? C: = Fat16 D: = NTFS C: = NT 4.0 Workstation D: = NT 4.0 Server Evaluation Wassa problem? Dual boot installation will work. Install Server - Winnt directory goes to D drive. Simple. NT Workstation Winnt folder is on C drive. Edit Boot.ini in root drive if required. An Jim - read the fucken workbook an manuals - this is fucken covered! MSCE? Ah fuck! Yar get a piece of paper but no fucken clues how ta do it!

You should be able to run the install for Server 4.0 again and just pick repair an installation. Then pick your D drive. If all is well and good, it'll find it no problem. You'll want to choose "repair master boot record."

My friend: The guy that was mean to you is totally right all the way. You can not change the order on the drives if they are IDE. You can only do it on SCSI drives. NT will allow you to dual boot. Let's get to the books some more. Miguel (MSCSE).

Us partitie magic there's a boot magic on it also make the partitions primary also.
