Super mysterious installation problem on new partition
I have win98 on c: system partition, winxp on d: and want to install win7 on e:
I use plop boot manager to boot from USB and then the DVD drive so that installation takes place. I choose the empty partition or the unallocated space to create one. Installation takes place fine till the 1st reboot.
At the 1st reboot plop boot manager is gone from mbr. I instantly see the black screen of win7 boot menu and the error that winload.exe was not found. There's no entry like win7 ultimate setup for setup to continue.
I also see that temporary installation files bt and ls are almost empty inside e:
Shouldn't they be on c: ?
There's a file called bootmgr and a folder Boot on c:
Don't know what's happening and the installation doesn't continue after 1st reboot.
Why win7 has to be associated with win98 and xp to boot? Can I make a 2nd system partition (instead of c: win98) which will be the same where win7 will be installed(e:)???
Alternatively can I make a 2nd Disk(disk 1)?
I see only disk 0
Thank you!
