Dual Boot Recommendations

[WinOS2Mac]

Hello All. I was wondering how I should go about setting up a dual Boot senario on a new system that I wil be consturcting this weekend.
I want to have Win98Se for games and other various small program, and I want to have Win2k for mostly everything else.

Can someone recommend the best way to set this up?
I have 1 Western Digital 40GB hard drive.
How many partitions should I have?

I know that I want atleast 1 partition at 20Gigs so I can store files that I can access from both OS's.
So I was wondering If I should format the Win2k drive as NTFS or FAT32?

When doing this Which OS do you recommend I install first?

Thanks, I really look forward to reading your suggestions.

Win98 goes first on a FAT32 partition. Then install Win2K on NTFS partition, leaving on disk the 20GB space you need. After that use any OS you want to create the 3rd 20GB partition you need. Of course, the Win2K can be installed on a FAT32 partition but I don't recommend that. Also, if you need extra partitions you can create them. Just have in mind that if you want to share them between the two OSs, they must be FAT32.
