Hi all,
This is (kind of) related to the problem the guy who was ranting had...I'v
been trying to install windows95 onto /dev/hdb4, a primary, bootable
partition on a slave IDE disk.
Originally, I was looking for a way to get a boot disk off the CD (there
isn't one), and finally I managed to get a boot disk with a CD driver that
worked. When I try to install, though, Win95 tells me it can't install
because there isn't a valid VFAT partition available. I know windows
probably wants to install itself on hda1, but I don't want this to happen.
When I boot the windows boot disk, though, it sees hdb4 as C: no problem.
Has anyone run into this problem, or have a quick fix for it? I don't mind
if it over-writes the MBR on hda, but I obviously want to keep all the
other stuff there :)
Thanks for the help,
Dave.
