Quick Dual Boot Question

Hi,

Here is my situation. I need a Windows 98 and Windows 2000 dual boot system. Currently I have one 3 gigs FAT32 partition with windows 98 and another 3 gigs partition with windows 2000 on it. But the problem is when I've installed windows 2000, cause there was already a "C:" partition on my hardrive, the next partition is now D: and windows 2000 boot on this one and programs files is on D: and so on. Is there a way to have both, on seperate partitions, and that when you boot in windows 98 your "windows" drive is C: and when you boot in windows 2000 your "windows" drive is C: too ?

Thanks for all inputs.
 
I've heard that you could change the drive letters... but to my knowledge no one has done this. Just leave it as it is or links will be a mess. Why do you want to change it? Everyone that I know who dual boots just leaves it as it is. My Win2K partition is actually my E: drive.
 
It's not gonna happen, because you cannot reletter the boot drive (FAT32 with Win98 in your case) nor the OS drive (FAT32 D: ) in Win2K.

Read the partitioning link below, and see how I did my system.

yup...u're gonna have to leave it as it is..

my win2k drive is E: as well...(double partition hdd 1 w/ c: as win98se, d: is hdd 2 for backup, and e: is the second partiiton on hdd 1 for win2k)
