Multi-Boot XP with Win 98 and Linux

NichtSehrGut

I can set up a dual-boot with Win98 easily. I have yet to get a successful multi-boot with Mandrake Linux 8. 1. I have tried setting it up on a separate drive (1st partition), using MBR of that drive, then tried 1st Boot sector, etc.

WindowsXP Logon Screen

iks

Hello there! Yesterday my Welcome Logon Screen (where you click a user you want) just changed to the one like in Windows 2000 (you need to type username in a textbox). . . How can I change it back to WindowsXP default Logon screen? I tried in Control Panel | User Accounts | Change the way users log on or off.
