The boot.ini file has more than 10 partitions listed but only 10 partitions

appear in the boot menu. What can one do so that more than 10 partitions

would appear in the boot menu?

Brian:

 

I don't think that W98 has a built-in boot manager like Wxp but correct me

if I am wrong.

I dont fully understand what you're doing, but if you clone a boot

drive with win98, clone everything except the swap file. In fact if

you try to copy the swap, you'll get an error and the entire copy

process will quit.
