The easiest way to do this is with an answer file **when you install Windows**. Time to do some research at the MS Knowledgebase.

yes.. you can. I do it..BUt if you are thinking about sharing that partition between win 98 and win 2k and use the same programs with both Os, It will work only for certain programs.

thanks. would it be possible to do this then:

C: win98
D: win2k
E: program files for win98
F: program files for win2k

?

thanks!

sure. Actually, you can put buth the Os program files folder on one partition if they are both using FAT32. You have to make folders like /win2k/program files and /win98/program files But the way you are setting up will work too..

That's the setup i have. Both my win2k and win98 progs share the same partition, just in different folders.
