Can I install seperate copies of win 98 on 2 hard drives?

[PropNut]

I have 2 hard drives (13gb and 30 gb ) I would like to run my buisness software etc on one HD and leave the other for the kids to use . Can I install seperate copies of win 98 on each? I would like to keep the access seperate for each hard drive (or even password protected? for mine). Is this possible? anyone doing it...and if so what would I need to do it? Thanks

Or if you are broke and need to evaluate a copy there are many places on the net warez you can get it to test for "educational purposes."

I did the samething using Boot Magic. Worked great. R

Go into bios, disable HD1,now install Win98,after it's all installed....Go into bios & disable HD1 & enable HD0 , now install win98.

After you're all done you can boot on either HD you want by enable or disable in bios and or by changing the boot sequence from A,C,D or A,D,C .....


This way it's totaly free & you can totaly hide a hd from the other OS, or see both , it's up to you.

Could you use the ntloader boot manager by using the setup /ntldr for win98 setup? I think this is availabel for win98se for insatlling on an already existing nt box but i've never tried it.
