Hi Bill, Windows 98SE needs a FAT partition I believe. Did you set up a
FAT partition for it? It might also need that partition being within the
first 120GB of the drive. Setting up dualboot is indeed possible, but the
installer will likely setup it up all wrong if you install an older
Windows version last. But it is indeed fixable.

The thing is installing XP as a fresh install will absolutely not let me
format c: with FAT32. It will only let me format with NTFS. I have another
partinio that is FAT32. I don't know what MS has against fat32 now, ntfs is
fine but I like fat32 too. And it's more universal. Which OS has to be
installed first? I can't reformat a mounted partition either of course.
