I've been messing with this for awhile and not having much luck. What I have
is 2 hard drives, one 3.2G EIDE and one 9.1G SCSI. I have an adeptec card
set to boot the SCSI drive. i installed NT 4.0 on the SCSI and then WIN 98
on the IDE with the SCSI disconnected. Either will work fine independently
of each other (only one drive connected at a time) but I would like to leave
them both on at the same time. When I make the SCSI the active partition I
get the error "NONE FOUND [ACTIVE PARTITION] ON HDD" when it tries to hit
the OS. When I make the IDE the active partition, WIN 98 loads fine. I have
tried many things. One was to put a parititon magic boot partition in the
IDE and use that to select WIN 98 and NT. It would select 98 fine but when i
selected NT I just got a blinking cursor. I have also tried system
commmander (on the IDE) which will work one cycle through then when I
reboot, I get the "NONE FOUND [ACTIVE PARTITION] ON HDD" error again.
Ideally I would like to use the NT boot loader to go to 98. Is any of this
possible?

Thanks for any help.
