WinXP and Win98 together???

[Michael]

Hello...I'm running winxp on a 40gig HD that is
partitioned into 2- 20's The OS is on one and I use the
other for storage and back-up. I also have a 6gig
installed and I was wondering if I can install win98 on
it?? The 40gig is my primary master and my cd-rom is my
primary slave. The 6 gig is my secondary master. Can I
do this and what is the best way?? Thanks. Michael

Hi Michael,
if you want to keep both OS independent (no dual boot), you will have to set
the 6 gig HDD as the primary master every time you want to boot form it
(win98).

Regards
Benny

Let the Bios boot the secondary master

You can install it to any partition, as long as the boot drive is FAT/FAT32
and the partition you're installing to is FAT/FAT32.
