S ScrewFace Banned Sep 21, 2002 3,812 0 0 Sep 20, 2003 #1 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:
