Just on the phone with him, and he's havin'n lotsa fun trying to get Win98 and NT4 Workstation going dual boot. He had 98 in there and then tried to put NT on the next partition. Hard to tell on my end of the phone what went wrong, but he couldn't get NT to let 98 boot. I've never dual booted myself, anyone got a suggestion as to which OS should go in first, and what to use as a boot manager? I may have to go NT myself, on a celery 500 he said he nearly doubled his Gamma rays/sec!! And oh yeah, you know your dogass bored when you stay up for a couple days trying to get win98 to fit on an old 40meg hard drive, k6200 and 16 meg of old ram, and run Dcypher. It can be done. Surprisingly stable, only got 2.3 meg free though. 9meg swap (ouch), FreddyII need more ram..

Anyway, any help with the OS thing would be greatly appreciated, my friend has little patience and I'm scared he's gonna take a hammer to the other 1/3 of my teams racks! I've been awake far to long to remeber what I read about dual boot, and that was a ways back..
Thanks

My suggestion:

Load 98 first...put it on a fat16 partition, because NT4 cannot read/see a fat32 partition.

Then install NT4, and use its own NTloader to switch between 98 and NT. Good luck...
