    Post Dual oot With WIn 98 and Win NT

    I have recently decided to make my machine dual boot with these OS and have proceeded with several steps in order to run these OS.
    I have created partitions:
    c:\ boot FAT16 with 1500Mb
    d:\ Win 98 FAT32 with 2500MB
    f:\ WINNT NTFS with 3500MB
    while other partitions are my data files which i think is not important to be discussed here.
    I have installed win 98 on d:\ and it runs perfectly.
    During the process of installing Win Nt, i have faced an unsolved problem after those temporary setup files are copied into c:\ and when it restart to perform the actual installation. A blue screen comes out with lots of text describing:
    *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0XF7813BD4, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X0000000)
    Inaccesible_boot_device
    It gives out a advice telling me that:
    Restart and set the recovery options in the system control panel or the /CRASHDEBUG system start option.

    Can anyone please tell me what is it all about and please help me. I need it for my final thesis project to be run.

    THANX A LOT!

    Run Fdisk and check which is the active partition. If it is the D: then you will not be able to boot into NT as it is FAT32.

    I normaly configure dual boot PCs to have C: as FAT16 with Win98 installed on it, then start the NT install from Win98. I would recommend only creating the C: using Fdisk then adding D: during the NT install.

    I actually found it quite easy to have a win98SE/Win2k dualboot which didn't require any partitions...
