What kind of patitions are you using on your Win2K? If you're using NTFS, then you have a problem, as DOS does not recognize them.

If not, post your autoexec.bat and config.sys here, and what kind of error do you get when you start computer.

boot disk works only for WIN 98 or 95.

it won't work with 2k as those wins don't have true DOS. you have to use DOSBox or you can make a spearate partition and install DOS there.

Boot disk should work for some games, as it includes files needed to run those games.

If other games do work, then you might have problem with sound settings and/or memory. I don't have testing PC at the moment, but as soon as I do, I'll try those games and I'll post my findings.

ok anubis, u can downlad a win98 bootdisk with fat32 support here http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=bootdisk
this disk includes emm386.exe, himem.sys, mouse support.
i made a 1gb fat32 part, all other part of hd are ntfs.
downloaded dos drivers for my audigy1 and for my cdrom-driver and put them in h:\dosdrv (h:->driver letter for the fat32 under win2k)
when i start my pc with the bootdisk h becomes c, because its the only driver the win98-bootdisk can read.

my prob is that wings of glory and fugger2 dont work
wings replies an error "#fffe" googled ->nothing
when i run the soundtest of fugger2 it works great but if i start the game it plays the sunflower intro without sound and after that it hangs no error nothing just dont work

Seems to be memory problem. you should try tweaking the memory settings.


It can also be that your PC is too fast for those games. this too will result in crash, although it usually writes the "runtime error".
