Hallo,

 

I had

one HD IDE with W98

and

another HD IDE with WXP on a partition and another WXP on a second

partition

 

------------

 

I could boot well all the three operative systems

with this in ' boot.ini ' :

 

C:\="MS Windows 98"

 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Gianni Microsoft Windows XP

Professional per NET" /fastdetect

 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(3)\WINDOWS="Piero Microsoft Windows XP

Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

 

----------------

 

Then I added a SATA HD

(FAT 32, 3 partitons, no file yet added)

 

but the boot is now bad:

 

the following are no more good:

 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS

and

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(3)\WINDOWS

 

 

If I remove the SATA HD

the boot returns good.

 

 

------------------------------------

 

Here my hard-disk situation before and after the HD SATA :

    Do you still get the XP boot menu, and 98 boots, but the XP installs don't boot?

    Or does it just black screen?

     

    According to your graphic, the SATA drive is being enumerated after the

    IDE boot drive and before the 2nd IDE drive. That would push the

    XP OS installs from rdisk(1) to rdisk(2) as referenced by c:\boot.ini.

     

    Try:

    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Gianni Microsoft Windows XP
