Installing windows 2000 question

Right now, I have Win98SE, and i have 4 partitions.
I want to install Win2K on my 1st partion (right now 98 is on it)
but I am going to formatt the 1st partition, and install 2k in NTFS... Now, if I wanted to go from Basic Disk to Dynamic Disk, what would it do to my partitions? or could i goto Dynamic Disk when i have apps games and backup stuff on my other partitions?
 
probably just be better off redoing everything
theoretically it'd be easy.. but windows doesn't work theoretically, it's microsoft 🙂
 
Is this a standalone system? What purpose will dynamic disks serve for you?

Also wanted to know if you are saying that the 5 gigs of backup on one partition is the only copy of that data you have?

I wouldn't even think of going there. I'm not trying to be a wise-acre here. I just can't believe anyone would contemplate using a function that was not well-known to them on a drive that contained irreplaceable data. (I'm so paranoid I keep duplicate on-site and off-site external media backups on machines on which all operations are already standardized.)

Regards,
Jim
 
If I were you , the first thing I will do is burn all the 5gigs on
CDs , Does not matter howmany CDs , or I will buy Another HD and
use the new one to install the WIN2000. That way no surprises.🙂
