I want to dual boot Win98SE with XPpro, and to do this I have to install
Win98SE first. I have a new machine with an ASUS P5B motherboard (Dual
DDR,
S-ATA II, etc) and a clean HD which I have partitioned (4) and formatted
to
FAT32.
Trouble is, Win98SE (and earlier OS's) won't recognise the fitted JMicron
JMB 363 PATA/SATA PCI Express IDE controller, and tells me there is no
CD-ROM
drive fitted. The manufacturer's web site does not list any drivers for
OS's
prior to WinXP.
Does anyone know of a suitable driver - or a work-around??
IF, IF, IF you can put in an ide controller card on your PC, connect the old
hard drive to that, configure the bios to boot from that card and drive,
98SE might work fine. Maybe a removable tray for the hard drive connected
to the ide controller card. I'd drop XP from it. Run XP from the SATA
drive. I hear repair install in the background.
