Dual-boot system

Don't think so. The preferred approach is to install Win 98 first, then install Win2K. If you have 2K already installed it gets trickier.

Here's one approach I found:

Installing Win9x/Me after NT/2000 will over-right the MBR (master boot record). The only OS you could boot to would be Win9x. You can recover from this though. Install Win9x. After that is all done. Boot from the Win2K CD, and choose to boot into the command console (recovery console). Once you are into the console. Run the Fix MBR command. (Sorry I don't recall it off the top of my head).
The simplest way to dual-boot is start with Win9x, then install Win2K. Win2K will configure the boot strap for dual-booting.

If you haven't done this type of thing before and are worried about losing data, I would suggest using Partition Magic (www.partitionmagic.com). It has wizards to walk you through multi-boot setup and can even move partitions if they aren't in the right order to install the OS's you want. I just setup my PC to dual boot 98 and NT and I would have never attempted it myself without Partition Magic.

I agree with answer number 2 but would like to add that a FAT partition with enough free space is required inorder to dual boot with win98 .

This is what I know,
If you deside to load win98 after loading win2k; win2k will not load anymore. To have it work correctly you need to load win98 first then load win2k. Be sure to select FAT as a file and leave the current system in tack other wise it will format the current partition and then load win2k. If you don't already know; to have it dualbootable it must be on a FAT16 partition and not FAT32.

Good luck,

You CAN dual-boot Win9x installed as FAT32 and Win2K. NT3.x/4 could only read FAT16. Windows2000 reads/boots from FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS5.

You can achieve this by installing 98 first before installing your win2k
