Does anyone have a link, or can tell me how to duel boot windows xp and win 98? I have win xp rc1 installed at the moment, and I want to put win 98 on a seperate partition for a couple of games that don't work well in xp. I may not have the need for win 98 later on when the final version of xp comes out, so I will need to get rid of 98 eventually, but without a format. Any help? oh and its win 98 SE.

For anyone else interested, you have to install Win98/SE/ME FIRST because they MUST be on the C partition. Win2K/XP can go on any drive letter. (I'm running 2K on C and XP on D).

When you run the XP setup, it'll ask if you want to upgrade or perform a clean install. Select the latter and direct it to an empty partition. It'll set up the dual-boot stuff and give you a choice of which you want to use at boot-up.
