Dual boot between Win2K & 98 doesn't work anymore

Simon Ngan
Hi, I installed Win2K Pro about a week ago on top of Win98. I made another partition for Win2K and everything was working fine until an hour ago. I tried to boot to Win98 from the BOOTMENU, however, after I press ENTER from the menu, I got SYSTEM FILES NOT FOUND, REPLACE THE DISK AND CONTINUE.

Basic RAM questions

JBoDEAN
Hi guys. Very elementary questions here, sorry. 1) Just got 256 megs of ram (from my previous 128megs) Just curious where I will see noticeable improvements in win2k. 2) How will my games run better with 256megs over 128 megs ram? Say, Flight Sim 2000, Unreal Tourny, Quake 3, etc? BoDEAN.

Acer 620U scanner and Win2k

Robert Keeling
Has anyone had success using the acer beta usb drivers for this scanner on win2k build 2195. I cannot seem to get it to work. When the twain program comes up, it never finds the scanner. However, if I power up the scanner, win2k asks for the install software, which installs without difficulty.
