I decided it was time to give my big server-cased desktop a makeover so I formatted up a bit, redid my Linux and decided to put Win98 back on.
When I was deciding how to partition, I had a stroke of thought. Since I had 2 hard drives on 2 seperate IDE cables I'd make each drive for an OS - *but* the outside tracks of each drive would be the other OSes swap file... Linux has no problems with this, Windows...er...
Well, basically, it reports the size and everything else correctly until I go to VM and tell Windows to let me manage it. First, it says the drive has 0 mb free... Then if I select it the max is the HDs max size, so I simply paste that to the minimum, hit okay, and tell Windows I know what I'm doing. Then reboot. Then go back to VM and it's back to Windows management... errg...
ideas?
