To dual boot XP Pro and W98 for gaming; which first?

[bupkus]

How do I go about setting up a dual boot for games just in case XP doesn't support any of my games?

Install w98 first, then do XP. Best to do them on seperate partitions, w98 on C, XP on D, stops your drive becoming messy.

A good reason to install 98 first is because it's "dumber" than XP. If you install NT first then 9x, 9x will mess up the MBR and NT won't boot properly.

Indeed, just take this as a rule of thumb:

always install the newer OS last
