Partition Magic question

I'm running XP with NTFS. I want to create a small partition so I can run
Win98. I don't need access to the NTFS files from Win98. PM7 will create a
partition "before" the XP partition so it is bootable. My question is: once
I have created the Win98 bootable partition, can I still boot into the XP
partition. How? Second, I would like to keep XP as drive C and Win98 as
drive D. Will PM7 do this, or will it set the Win98 partition as C?

Thanks.
 
Trying to remember back to those "Administoring Windows NT v4.0" classes, but I do beleive it will cause problems in your Boot.ini (hidden on C:\) file. That file tells XP where to boot from, your creating a partition before the current boot partition would change that order. You might have to edit that file before you could get back into XP.

i also thought u could extract the MBR from any drive and have the NT boot loader point to it to boot from...

u can extract it using a debug command, which i can't remember anymore...i'm nto entirely sure if that works

the best solution i guess would be to do what bacillus pointed to.
