Alright, I'm just about to reconfig my system by adding Win2K. I want to dual boot just in case I need to go back to Win98 for some reason. My question is, I have 2 HD's (4GB and 20GB). Should I partition the 4GB HD into two, and install each OS on it's own partition?

**I currently use the 20GB HD for storage**

Yes, you should definitely use different partitions for the two operating systems. A good thing to do, btw, would be to put the Win2k swap file on the second (20 GB) drive. This will be faster, and also allow you to have a pretty large one (if you wish).

When you install, install Win2k after Win98. Otherwise Win98 will mess up the boot manager that Win2k installs. So, install Win98 on C, and then Win2k on D.
