RE: Booting win98 from an extended partition

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers
Are you guys sure about Win98 residing on a FAT16 based system? It
happens that this guy is wearing a FAT32 system. All of the Win98
installs that I have "met" over the past couple of years since its
release have been based that way. (Of course it presupposes that the
human who installed it from an upgrade set, followed standard
operating procedures and ran the conversion wizard for converting from
FAT16 to FAT32.)
