Multiple OS's On Same PC

I have heard that it's possible to alternately boot different OS's ( e.g. Win '98 and Win 2000 ) from the same PC disk . Is installation and running of this a simple affair or is it just going to cause all sorts of problems ? Am talking of an ASUS A7V/T'Bird 1GHz/IBM 30GB disk/Win '98 SE running smoothly . Are there any good guides on the Internet about this ?
 
Hi,
99% of th time it is a aimple proceedure to setup a dual-boot scenario. This is done for quite a few reasons. I personally run 98Lite strictly for gaming on my PC and run win2K for eveything else. Some people have combined windows and linux or even freeBSD/openBSD. Sometimes it is for learning(ie MCSE) or sometimes just to try things out. With your 98se machine, you could definitely add win2K or linux with very little trouble. I don't know of any sites that explain this too well, sorry. Search the forums, you will find your answer.
As Always,

If you've got 98se already installed, just boot to 98se and run the win2k setup program...tell it to install a fresh copy, point it to /winnt, and do not convert the disk to ntfs. that will ruin your day.
