I have a computer with Windows 2000 pro and Suse linux 9, on separate paritions (obivously).
I want to load windows 98 on the computer to be able to play all my old games.

The windows 2000 help says i need to create a separate volume for this but since my hard disk is
already set-up, i cant use fdisk or maxblast3.

So what do i do. Can i use the partioner in linux to create another partition or is it ok to install
windows 98 onto the same partition as windows 2000.

Any information at all is wanted

you should have put 98 then install 2k, then linux in that order in order for the boot to be painless. but why dont you run it in 98 compatability mode? people say this is a feature in xp, but if you have SP2 or later with windows 2k, then its there, just hidden, follow these steps to enable the hidden featuer that will add a compatablity tab to your apps when you right click on them
