You can do this but it is tricky. If the first partition is fat32 (can be 50 mb) if you can make this with partition magic.

Install Win98 and boot into it.

Put the Windows 2000 cd in and boot to where it will ask to press r to recover. At the recovery console type fixboot. This will repair the boot.ini files.

You can then add the win98 boot to the boot.ini after this from windows 2000.

You can use a boot agent for this also, but they are more trouble than they are worth.

Anotherthought is to get a drive tray and swap out the drives for a quick fix.

Some people have gone so far as to install Linux with the LILO boot loader for a multi boot system.

My bet for the safest way it to do what MS suggests and install 98 first and then 2000. Nothing like a clean OS to work with.
