I have a few old games that run fine under Win98SE but give problems
under Xp so I want to set up for dual boot with 98SE and Xp. Present
C-drive partition is 13 Gig. If I partition it into 5 gig for 98 and 8
gig for Xp will that be enough for Xp. There will be other partitions
for data, etc.

Will I go through any hassles reactivating?

You've helped me before and I appreciate the help greatly.

Thanks

Chuck

Hi Chuck,

Yes, that will be sufficient space.

See this from MVP Doug Knox on installing Win98 after WinXP:

And, no, you will not have trouble reactivating as you are still using the
same hardware.
