Hi

Im using a Presario notebook with WindowsXp installed. I have some problems with Xp so I want to dual boot with Win 98.

My hard drive is partitioned to NTFS partition | FAT 32 partition.

The NTFS partition is the bootable. How can I activate the FAT 32 partition instead of the NTFS one?

What makes the partition bootable?

(I own partition magic 7 , boot magic 7 I cant make partition active with pmagic).

Thanks
Shay
