Dual Booting (2 drives)

[Chris]

Hello,

I am trying to creat a dual boot between 2 hard
drives. On one drive I already have WinXp Pro installed,
and the other has Win98SE. I am trying to figure out how
to configure these drives so that they can dual boot. I
first tried to set them up as master (Win XP PRO) and
Slave (Win98SE). I did change the Boot.ini file to
display the 2 options, but when I try to load the 98 (
which was installed after xp pro, but on a seperate drive)
it tell me that I'm missing an operating system file. I
then tried to setup the win98se drive on a IDE controller
card. That didn't work either. I can get into Xp pro
just fine, but can't seem to the 98 disk to boot. Both Os
were installed fresh, and I have loaded all the drivers.
What am I doing wrong? I have also tried this with Win2k
Pro

Thank's in advance

Chris
