OK this is my situation.....
I have 2 physical Hard Drives....A 30gig and a 20 gig.The 30gig is my First Hard drive.
Which is set up with 3 partitions for now.
Partition 1 of the First Hard Drive has Win 98Se installed in a 7 gig Partition labeled as Drive C:\
Partition 2 of the First Hard Drive has Win Me installed also in a 7 gig Partition labeled as Drive C: LOCAL But really it's Drive F:\
"Still With Me......."
ok
The Second Hard drive also has 3 partitions.
Two partitions are 196 Mbs each for Swap files 1 for 98SE and 1 for Win Me.Labeled as Drive E:\ for Win 98Se And Drive G:\ for Win Me.
Drive H:\ is my Zip Drive
Drive I:\ is my CD-Rom-DVD
The other Drive Letters D:\ is storage for now
So it goes like this:
Drive A:\ = Floppy
Drive B:\ = NONE
Drive C:\ = Win98Se
Drive D:\ = Storage
Drive E:\ Swap Win 98se
Drive F:\ = Win Me (BUT ALSO as Drive C:\ LOCAL)
Drive G:\ = Swap WinMe
Drive H:\ = Zip
Drive I:\ = CD-Rom-DVD
Now that you have an idea of How things are set up THIS IS MY PROBLEM
Win98se was installed first.Then I installed A Program called System Commander from V-Com.It's a great program ( In My opinion) It's a Boot manager and also it makes partitions.(can be found here: http://www.v-com.com/
So then I ran it's wizards to make a New Partition for Win Me to be installed.
Not a problem everthing went fine.I installed Win Me in the New partition.Great.
Now I had a Duel boot system with 98 in 1 partition and WinMe in another.And everything worked.
Then I install Norton System Works 2001 under win 98Se(why because I have it and I liked the way it worked under win98se before) I Get the updates for virus n stuff.run the wizards and correct some problems.
Everything seems ok.
Then I reboot and get into WinMe Everything seems fine.
I then install Norton System Works in WinMe. Reboot get updates reboot( i did the same under Win98Se)run the wizards correct a few problems and shut down for the day.Thinking all is fine.
Well today I reboot to win 98se to load some more software and stuff.Well I ran nortons win doctor, it finds some problems. About 20 but they are all about the same ........They all have something to say about a removeable drive ( C:\ and drive F:\ that have been moved or removed which is not the case.But nortons can't find) remember that drive C:\ is win 98Se and drive F:\ is Win Me. BUT Drive C:\ LOCAL ( Still With Me ....)
So I correct the problems.( nortons gives you a few options on how to go about it . I put everthing back to where it belongs. I know because some software is only installed under Win98Se and not in WinMe which makes it easy.) ok so now I know I have a problem somewhere.
Drive C:\ knows it's drive C:\..........But Drive F:\ thinks it's Drive C:\ and Drive C:\Local plus drive F:\
Do you Follow.....I hope so. Now I'm confused..........But really Does any one else use System Commander and nortons system works 2001?????
And If so How do I correct this!!!
Thanks
Charlie
