I use BootIT NG's partition resizer which does not have to be installed to resize a partition. Which is the second OS you want to install? Mac HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It is usually safer to do so. Did the program come with any specific instructions on installing? Mac HAPPY NEW YEAR! [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Boot.Ini help Monday, January 2, 2006 at 5:03 pm Posted by Jeff (5 messages posted) I was able to uninstall partition commander with the uninstall that was with the program. It was supposed to restore all my files however that is when everthing got messed up. I did not have an anivirus program on the system at the time and I was not on the internet. One other thing that is part of the problem is before I installed the partition commander I tried to install the windows 2000 pro upgrade. It did not fully install, it said there was an error in memory and could not finish, however it installed enough files that it wants to boot to that system. I there any way I can edit some files so that it will boot up to the win98. It will not boot up in safe mode at this time. Thanks for any help.

Another problem I'm havein is berfore I installed the patition commander , I tried to install window 2000 upgrade. It did not install fully and I got an error message and it would no longer load, however it loaded enough files that it is now the default O/S system and I can no longer get win 98 to boot up. Do you have any idea what files I can correct so that it will boot up to win98 again? It will not boot in safe mode the only way I can edit files is going to edit.com from tha dos promt.

Did you disconnect all of your peripherals, printers and modems, etc. before attempting the upgrade? Was the drive cleaned of junk files before upgrading? (Delindex.bat or CCLeaner) Is the 2000 upgrade CD scrupulously clean and free from scratches, especially on the label side? Have you tried the bootiniedit bootdisk from the link above? 3am and time for sleep. See you tomorrow, God willing. Mac HAPPY NEW YEAR!
