The boot partition should be placed at the beginning of the disk. This ensures that the system can locate and load the necessary boot files quickly during the startup process. Placing it at the start also helps in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the boot process.

How can you reinstall Windows 98 after you change your hard drive?

You need a boot disk to start it up. Either use your emergency repair disk that you created for that operating system. Boot up the machine and go into the BIOS and enable the "boot from floppy disk" or something similar. Put the boot disk in the floppy drive and reboot. Follow the instructions given; you need CDROM support enabled. When ready insert the W98 disk into your CD Drive and navigate to it's root directory (folder). There's a program called something like "setup.exe", run it and following the instructions. Otherwise, change the boot sequence to CD, IDE0, Floppy, and enable "boot from disk". Restart the machine, you'll be asked if you want to boot from CD. YES. With a new harddisk, you'll be asked to partition the drive. Which you need to do. Just accept the default, which is one primary DOS partition using the whole disk space. It will then format it to FAT32 file system. The actually windows 98 setup will then begin, follow the instructions on screen.


Can you put songs on a thumb drive?

Where on the Linux disk should you put your boot partition or the root partition if you do not use the boot partition?

This generally isn't an issue for modern computers; you can place the partition anywhere you like. With the way many modern hard drives are mapped, it doesn't even make a difference for performance reasons. The reason why it mattered in older systems was that the BIOS could only access up to a certain amount of the hard drive. To boot Linux, you would need to place the kernel within the area addressable by the BIOS. This could be within the first 528 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 8 GB, or 127 GB, depending on the age of the system. As of 2002, the addressable limit has been raised to something like 4 PB, so you needn't worry about it again for a long time.

How many min patitions are require ti install Linux os and what r they?

If you have plenty of RAM: 1, as a swap partition is rarely used by Linux on systems with more than 2 or 3 GiB of RAM available, and all the toplevels of the Linux directory structure can be put on the same partition. A swap partition on a system with plenty of RAM is a waste of hard disk space. If you're strapped for memory, 2, to allow for the swap partition, so that Linux can extend its memory onto the hard disk so you won't run out. A good rule of thumb is to create a swap partition at LEAST 1.5 times larger than your system RAM. For example, if you have 512 MiB of RAM: a 768 MiB MINIMUM swap partition is advised. If you have lots of hard disk space, an ideal consideration is actually to triple your RAM in swap space: 512 MiB of RAM will be supported by a 1.5 GiB swap partition. Personally, if you have lots of hard disk space, I recommend at least 3: One for /, one for /home, and one for swap, if needed, otherwise it'll be for /boot.


You are trying to format your friends computer but the version of windows you are trying to install on their computer is older then the one they were using so how can you delete the old windows?

All you need is the newer operating system disk. Just put in the OS disc and hit which ever button it tells you to during start up to get to the boot menu. You should choose the option to boot from disc. It will ask you if you want to delete the selected partition. And yes you do want to. After it is deleted, restart the PC. Insert the old OS disc and take the same steps to the boot menu, select boot from disc and it will lead you to the install screen.


How do you install Windows 98 start up disk to upgrade from Windows 95?
