Dual Booting with Win98 & Win2K

Yes that is possible. Make sure you install Windows 98 first.

Yes - you need to be sure to install Win98 first, then Win2K. When done, you'll see a boot-up menu that allows you to choose which OS to boot. And yes, you will be able to access both partitions from within Win2K, although of course you won't be able to run programs loaded in Win98 while booted to Win2K, unless the same program is also loaded in the Win2K OS. Hope this helps!

yes, separate partition for each os is right on and do install windows 98 first as win2k needs to be in control of the boot process and installing win98 last will overwrite the boot info win2k needs....
windows 98 can't see local NTFS drives so don't convert the win2k partition to ntfs unless you don't care if you can get at the files when you are booted into win98. also, win98 won't see logical drives created on extended partitions created by win2k so get all your partitioning done in win98 before installing win2k.

It is possible just install your Windows 98 first then Windows 2000.

Yes you can. At my school where we teach 2000, we actually have a triple boot going with Win 98, 2000 Pro and 2000 Server all on separate partitions it works fine. I would use fdisk, create the 2G FAT (or FAT32) partition and leave the rest unpartitioned, then install Windows 98 and finally 2000. 2000 will create a boot menu using boot.ini which will allow you to switch between the two operating systems.

If you make the 2000 partition a NTFS partition and ever want to get rid of it, you will have to boot from the 2000 CD, start a new installation and then delete the partition when you get to the screen that ask which partition you want to use. To get rid of the boot menu, you then have to boot from a 98 system floppy and SYS the hard drive.
