hello again

I am trying to install windows 98, windows me and windows
xp onto a single computer (dont ask me why).
I have created the partitions on the hard drive and
installed 98 first. but when i come to install ME it just
updates 98.
How do i install ME onto a different partition?

thanks

XP only supports one non NT operating system. All boot files must be on =
C: and 9x/3.1/Dos use the same file names. All previous versions of NT =
(and XP is NT 5.1) can use the latest versions boot files (and XP's boot =
files will speed up the loading of previous versions) but each 9x/Dos =
requires it's own boot files.

You need to get Bootit or something like that. I have a similar
configuration on one of my pooters and I use Bootit and it works like a
champ!
