I'd like to put Windows 98SE on my secondary drive (40GB Fujitsu) and Windows XP Pro on my primary drive (80GB W.D.).

Which O.S. must I load in first? Also, can I use the FAT-32 file system for Windows 98SE and NTFS for Windows XP Pro?

Thanks.:beer::)

IIRC, you have to install 98 first, then xp. Otherwise you'll need a boot manager like Boot Commander.

It's been a while and could be off, but that's what I remember.

Thanks, DurocShark. Unfortunately, that's what I thought. How about using FAT32 for Windows 98SE and NTFS for Windows XP Pro? Thanks.:)

But remember that if you format the XP drive with NTFS, when you are booted into Windows 98 it won't see it.
