Win XP + 98SE install

Post by R Windbringer »

How can I install Windows 98SE in a machine with Win Xp already installed?
The problem I have is related with NTFS sys.

I've not myself tried dual installs.
However - for Windows 98 SE to run it needs to run on the filesystem called FAT16/FAT32.

So either you need to run two partitions on your harddrive where one runs NTFS and the other FAT16/32 or you need to change the filesystem of you main partition.

I know Partion Magic can do it very easily (it is a wonderful program) - but it costs money, but I can't remember the price for it.

You can also try Microsoft Virtual PC. It basically lets you run multiple operating systems simultaneously in different windows so that you don't have to reboot in order to switch OS. With Virtual PC, your main operating system must be Windows XP, and then you can run other OSes. The only drawback is the price. I think it's $129.
