Dual boot with Win98 and XP

oeNeo · 20-07-2002 5:33pm #1

Is this possible? And can anyone tell me how to do it?

Need Win98 because no one in my family likes XP, but I do.

Any help would be appreciated.

Make another partition on your HDD and install win98 onto that. Windows should do the math for the dual boot..

MAKE sure you back up your stuff though... you dont want to loose it all!

Here goes backup everything, then format hard drive, install 98, install xp simple. You`ll have to use FAT32 partitions to run 98 and xp. Create a seperate partition for 98 and xp(around 2gigs each) and the third partition will be for files etc.

Not bothered on explaining in depth on this as i`m sure its already been done, so have a look around the archive here on boards read up then come back and post probs.

ya don't need to format the drive, use partition magic to resize the c:\ then make the remaining space a logical drive n install xp to that. XP will sort out all the dual booting stuff and aweh ya go

Or get Connectix Virtual PC.
I have Windows 2k Pro Server running on it and im running XP Pro.
I also had 3 versions of Linux running.
It can acces the net and networks aswell.
Must have another mess with it.
