After partitioning the pc drive with success showing โnew volumeโ drive in addition to original C drive in disk management,
unfortunately on booting I do not get the option to access any of these two drives but it goes straight to my old system.
Please help me to get optional access.
A little confused as to what you have done and what you are attempting to achieve.
Have you installed anything on either of the two partitions.
Has Windows 10 always been the OS on the computer or even an earlier version such as 7 or 8.1 upgraded to 10.
thanks for your reply windows 10 is now on my pc but it was formerly upgraded from windows 7
what I did was to partition the hard drive disc using disc management and it showed the addition of a new lettered drive-โnew volumeโ as an added drive
hope this makes sense

the original partition has many things installed on it and is in continuing use and I want to install Windows 98 on the second partition as this is essential to run a certain device the driver of which does not tun on windows 10 !!!

Can answer this for you now, reason is because there is nothing on either partition to boot to, when the BIOS runs the POST (power on self test) it looks for the first bootable device which in this instance is Windows 10,

Two reasons why you will have problems with this;
1: When dual booting any version of Windows the oldest of the OSs has to be installed first.
2: It is most unlikely that you will find any Windows 98 drivers capable of booting a Windows 7/10 specification MB, Windows XP for example never had any SATA drivers.

Many thanks for your reply.
I did make a disc with windows 98 2nd edition on it and with product key available.
In view of your comments, do I have to give up on the partitioning procedure?
Can you think of a way whereby I can use my Scanner installation disc cd-rom to work on Windows 10 to get a driver for a Mustek 1200 UB scanner copier which I recently bought and which can only work with
Windows 95 OSR2/98 ???----I was not successful with this on my Windows 10 pc or on another Windows 7 pc which I also own.
This may be a tall order but thanks for any light on the problem.

Unfortunately yes, Windows 98 would not boot on any computer that had a SATA boot drive, to get Windows XP to be able to boot to a SATA boot drive you had to slipstream the drivers into a Windows XP disk which was tricky enough + as said it is highly unlikely that there will be any Windows 98 SATA drivers available
Long shot but try Windows 10 compatibility mode, some info on this here
Something else that you may wish to look at is VMware info here

You are welcome btw
many thanks for all your replies.
I will try your 2 suggestions

Excuse me butting in but if you just want to use your scanner theres a great program called Vuescan, have a look HERE and if you scroll down that page you will see your scanner is listed. The program is not free but have used it for years and have never found a scanner/AIO it will not work with, and as a bonus the app offers more features and better results than any scanner/AIO OEM rubbish.
What youโre wanting to do, boot Windows 98, would be so much better if you use Virtual Box or if youโre like me and use VMs a lot, purchase VMWare Workstation. Itโs the easiest way to do what youโre wanting to achieve

Many thanks for your info which I followed but with no luck
I tried several Mustek programs listed But the driver in each case was not installed.
Also on pressing โpreviewโ or โscanโ I kept getting:
โvuescan didnโt find a scanner connected to your computerโ
the exact designation of my scanner โMustek 1200 UBโ is not on the list!
thanks any way
