Dual boot question

I've decided to dual boot on my new Win2k Pro system. I'm only a couple of weeks into it and have exercised restraint and not installed much other than drivers and some utilities. It's not a biggie starting over. Gonna dual boot with Win98SE, cool. I'm told the best idea is to partition and format with Win98 and then install Win2k on D:. Actually, I don't have a Win98 boot disk (just the Win98 Full CD and the Win98SE upgrade CD) so will probably do the partition and format with a Win95 boot disk, no problemo, I figure.

Here's my question: I have a couple of Ghost images of my Win2k partition that I'm running now. Can I get away with using one of those and restore it to my D: partition instead of the C: partition where it now lives? Or is it safer to just start from square one? TIA...
 
If you would use the Ghost-image on the second partition, you'd never be able to boot W2K.

That is because W2K during installation need to write some files to the 1st active partition (in your case the one containing W98) to be able to boot (ntldr, ntdetect.com etc...).

You'd be better off installing it from scratch again.
