CAN YOU INSTALL WIN98 WINDOWS XP

Your question is incomplete, but that has never stopped me before.

Optional answers:

Dual boot. You can install both W98 and XP on the same PC.
The best way to do this is to partition the hard drive into 3 or more partitions.
Install Windows 98 on the C: drive
Install Windows XP on the D: drive.
You will be givenan option to set up a dual boot system when installing XP.
Use the remaining partitions for shared data files.

Upgrade from W98 to XP:
You can. However, many users have had problems with the upgrade, and have had to format their hard drives and start over.

Install the XP upgrade without first installing W98:
Again, you can. You do need to have the W98 installation CD on hand so that XP can verify that you qualify for the upgrade version.

Downgrade from XP to W98:
According to some sources, the XP license agreement does allow you to "downgrade" the version of Windows. Please read the EULA in detail yourself, and make your own decision.

If none of the above answers your question, please add a comment explaining your needs in more details, or close this question, and post a new question.
