Hi, i would like advice on how to install and make OS partition on Second HDD(slave) bootable.

My system configuration:
First HDD (master)
Partition 1 Primary ME
Partition 2 Primary XP (Upgraded Win98)
Partition 3 Primary Win98
Partition 4 Extended (for data)

I am using Partition Magic7 and Bootmagic6.

I have tried using Copy Partition option in PM7 and copy Partition 2 onto Second HDD but everytime I select from the Bootmagic Menu the system restart and present the same Menu again.

So I make a clean XP install from Partition 3 Win98 onto Second HDD.
The new XP on Second HDD can be booted initially but later Stop with a Fatal Error message:

STOP; c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Session Manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x0000034 (0x00000000 0x00000000)
The system has been shut down

I cant install Win98 onto Second HDD because Partition Magic 7 says that Win9x/ME OS can reside only on First HDD and only WinXP/2000/NT,Linux OS can be installed onto Second HDD.

So I am trying to migrate my present WinXP partition from First HDD to Second HDD and free up this partition for another Win98 OS.

Is this possible?
Thanks
