Hello,
I have an old laptop, Dell Latitude Cpi A 400 XT, PII @ 400 MHz.
I've been having lots of trouble getting DOS 7.1 and Windows 3.1, 98 and this weird copy of "Neptune" to tri-boot.
I have 4 partitions (one is hidden due to lots of read errors) and I've installed DOS then Windows 3.1 then 98 then Neptune all on separate partitions, but 98 still puts all it's boot info into the DOS's autoexec.bat and config.sys on the C: drive (which is for DOS and 3.1 only).
This DOS 7.1 I have, seems to be some sort of modded DOS version, as it can make itself dual boot with XP installed and make 98 launch by typing in "win".
If I edit the boot.ini to set 98 like this: E:\Windows "Windows 98", it won't launch, it has to be C:\ "windows 98" for 98 to work, even though Windows 3.1 is installed to the C: drive (in C:\Windows)
How can I get all these OS's to reside on different partitions and have a triple boot system?
