Hi all, pls treat this post as URGENT.
I am in somewhat confused situation.
I have a new 20GB hard disk. I want to have a dual booting between win98 and WinNT 4.0 SP-6a.
I have tried as below.
1) I created primary partition of 2047mb 16 bit with
win98 fdisk. This is active partition and drive is C. I
installed first win98 on it.
2) I now installed win NT4.0 on same drive and through NT
setup I created another 16 bit partiton of 2 gb to keep
my data.
3) Now when i go for remaining space in extended
partition it creates partition in 16 bit only and size
is also 3 gb approx. I am much confused. Won't I be able
to use my remainig 12 gb space if i have all 16 bit
partiotion?
4) Is is possible to have win98 on FAT32 logical partiotion
and even then boot from there ? and have WINNT on fat 16
drive say C ? but here I then have only 2 b of space for
WINNT, ORACLE and Visual studio which i want minimum.
Also there will be some of y data. Is there any way by
which I can increase my NT space ? I feel NTFS
partition is very bad. I lost my whole NT server few days back. and i had 10 gb of hdd then.
I dont want to loose my remaining huge amount of hard disk as my data will be large. I want a full access between all the drives. Is it possible with any kind of (16bit or 32 bit) partition ?
Is there any third party softwares available by virtue of which i can manage my partitions well and access data between all drives ?
Please help asap
Thanks
