Dual Boot Win2K/98

Hi,

Its best to do it in two separate partitions... so first create a partition for Win98. Its the first partition on the disk.

There are lots of tools you can use to create partitions but personally, I use the Win2K installation CD to do this- you can create/delete and format partitions as its building. Format the partition using Fat32 and once it has completed, kill the Win2K installation.

Then install Win98 into that partition. Its important to install Win98 first.

Once that hascompleted, go back to installing Win2K and when you get the option of where you want to put it, create a partition on the part of the disk that hasn't been used yet, format it as you like (NTFS or Fat32) and go from there...

The dual boot bit is automatically set up for you.

One thing to note is that if you go with NTFS for the Win2K partition, then Win98 wont be able to read it without a third party add-on.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Tim.
