| Sorry, I missed to see your reply. Thanks for the suggestion. I have two partitions right now, so I already have a backup of the 98 on the second partition, but in the worst case, after installing the bootloader, if boot itself fails, I am afraid that I will have no way of restoring it also, without opening up webplayer and connecting it back to the pc. I don't want to endup opening it, and your warning scares me even more. So considering this, how safe do you think it is to try this boot loader that you suggested?
And to the other poster, I tried booting into the 98 light creating using the i-hacked.com's image, but I can't see the harddisk either from the explorer or from the PartitionMagic itself, so are you sure you are able to do that? If so, did you select any special settings? I wasn't able to boot into the DOC unless I disable the IDE completely, so if the IDE is disabled right in the bios, I wasn't expecting the OS to see the harddisk, so is my assumption wrong?
Thank you,
Hari | |
