    Hi,

    This is a little off subject but I know you experts out there probably know the answer so I'll give it a shot..

    I just purchased System Commander in oder to have a developement os and test os on 1 computer (can't afford another computer yet..).

    I installed System Commander and created a new partition in order to install another copy of Win98.. But, it's asking me for a boot disk in drive A in order to start the intallation. However, I only have the Win98 with no boot disk. It seems that although the BIOS allows for booting off the CD-Rom, System Commander only seems to recognize the A drive as a boot drive..

    Is it possible that I can create a boot disk off my Win98 CD by copying some files to a floppy? My Win98 CD is the full version, not an upgrade and it is the OS2 release..

    Any help would be greatly appreciated..

    You can go to Control Panel > Ad/Remove Programs > then the Startup Disk tab.

    Is that what your looking for?

    Isn't that for recovering a crashed/corrupted system? What I'm looking for is a news installation boot disk.. because System Commander is looking for a boot disk in drive A but I only have the Win98 CD with no floppy boot disk...

    But, I'll give it a shot and see what happens..

    Thanks,

    Dan
