Hi Slick, I am back in town for a couple of days..........
I tried the XP install again..... this time I located the "advanced" selection you mentioned. It had two places to select options, so in the top one where it wants to know where to install windows I told it E:\
In the bottom window I told it I wanted it to prompt me for the location during setup.
It copied all of the files, then as it rebooted (I had removed the XP CD, should I have left it in?? if I do my bios is set to boot from floppy, CD, SCSI, then other) the computer booted Win98, but in 640x480 mode and started loading all of the drivers for the hardware from scratch. I was terrified that this would trash my Win98se setup, so I bailed on the installation and used GoBack again to reset the computer.... did I mention I love GoBack?!?
Any way.......... during what portion of the setup should it have offered to let me specify the drive location?
What if I copy all of the files from the XP/CD to the "E" drive and try the setup routine from there, would that help?
It also never did ask me anything about setting up a "dual-boot." It seems to me that this question showed up very early in the Win2k install that I did.
