Win08 under Win2000

A friend recently bought a software version of FOR 98, and he only has 2000, so he called me in the past, I hope to reload all the applications under the premise of 2000 Look at 98. His C drive is 2000 system disk, but the remaining space is only 200M, and it is NTFS format, so I initially envisioned expanding the C drive to convert to FAT32, and then put 98 on the C drive and 2000 partition, so although not the most Ok, but it's the fastest, but I found that I can't convert it when I use the partition magic to convert the format. I can't even try it a few times. I have to find another way.

Because 98 can only be installed in the main partition, I then use the partition magician to convert the C drive from the primary partition to the logical partition. The conversion is successful. This is the 7.8M unallocated space in the primary partition. The problem, first of all, and then create a 700M logical partition in the logical partition, and then turn it into the main partition, which took a lot of effort, spent nearly an hour, finally succeeded, but still has 7.8M The unallocated space is in the primary partition, so I create it as the primary partition, then merge the two primary partitions, and succeed, finally leaving more than 700 M primary partitions for 98.

The next thing should be easy. Smooth installation on the C drive 98, because there is no boot menu, then put the 2000 CD into the new installation, of course, not really new installation, when the first restart, do not restart, BOOT in the C drive. In the INI, find the "C:$WIN_NT$.~BTBOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows 2000"" line and change it to "dwindows="windows 2000"", and then in the "default=c:$win_nt$"" column The change, I thought everything was done, but after entering 2000, when the user name and password were entered, the "Load Personal Settings" message appeared and returned to the dialog box for entering the user name and password. The restart is not good. This is obviously not the password. The reason for the error may be caused by the partition magician changing the 2000 system area from the primary partition to the logical partition. What should I do? How can I not reload 2000? The hard work of just a few hours is completely in vain, and friends The application software that I want to keep again and again will not be used.

I think there is an automatic repair function in the 2000 installation program, so I enter the 2000 installation program and the system prompts that there is an operating system" D:windows "When you choose to repair the installation, then insert the emergency repair floppy disk, by experience, it should be done in a few minutes, but now the fix first deletes some files, then copy, it is the same interface as reloading, and the speed is very slow, light reproduction It took me more than ten minutes, I suspect that I chose the new installation by pressing the wrong button. After the copy is completed, the detection hardware in the 2000 installation program appears after the restart, and the system screen is configured. I can give it to the emergency, and then the installation appears. The familiar interface in the program, "Setting the Start Menu, Registering Components, Saving Settings", etc., I have some doubts first. I can definitely fix it here because there is no prompt for the administrator password and the configuration system. It is not the same as the general installation, because my friend's 2000 Professional later installed IIS, and in the configuration system there is a configuration IIS process, the typical installation is not to install IIS, strictly stated that patiently wait, finally After the installation is complete, after entering 2000, everything is fine, and the previous applications are all and Running, only the Oriental CD-ROM magician started the error because of the CD-ROM drive letter problem, but the reloading is just right, it can be said that the repair process is more successful, although the time spent is the same as the new installation, after all, the previous installed application is retained. Software.

Through this example, it can be seen that the partition magician is indeed a good software, but its operation may cause the system to be unable to use normally, especially when converting the primary partition and the logical partition. This is the case. Don't format the hard drive easily when you have no choice.
