I'm current running win98, but i have my hard drive partition! I'm wondering if it's possible to run both of them in my comp like NT and Windows but instead win98 and win2000.
Please reply with a solution

I had w98 and W2K Candidate Release 2 running. I used Fat16 boot partition for w98. Now, W2K does read Fat32, so its loader might work off of a w98 Fat32 partition.

From W98 you can install W2K.

You are all set to dual boot with your drive already being partitioned and Win98 installed. (first make sure ALL of your hardware is approved for use with Win2K or NT)

Win2K and NT4 both come with their own "boot loader" that is automacticly installed and will give you a screen that looks very much like the "F8" boot menue of Win9x. from there you can highlight which OS you want to boot and your off to the races http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif
