Using FDISK-Use start up disk and CD
Upon start-up hit shift F4,now follow the onscreen instructions
create the size you want each partition (exmp 3.5 and 2.5)
Install WIN98 first,then win2k
Make sure you have your drivers before starting installation.
It would be easier if you had access to partition magic to format hard drive

I agree with Soulrider.
But you do not need Partion Magic. Becuase if you try to partion your drive W/ the OS.
You can not be sure that it will resize totaly.At Work it's happend. Best way backup your work! not your Apps. Then resize and use
thenew partion as NTFS5 and do a clean install. klevox@hotmail.com

I have Win98 & win2000 on two computers.
They work with no problems. I have multiple hard drives. I have learned that Microsoft products i.e. "OS" will only boot from the "0"drive. I keep the operating systems on the "0" drive and save "1" drive for data and image files. How I did it! I first installed Win98 into the "0" drive. Then, I installed system commander to control file formats and partition size. Next I installed Win2000 in its own partition. To share data and applications I formattedthe "1"drive as fat32. I have found this to be easy to work with since both OSs can interchage the use of files. With system commander I can resize and move partitions at will. For me this works very well and I would not do a dual boot without system commander.
I hope you find this helpful.
Good Luck!
Mike
